Hi, I'm trying to use Veritas' Backup Exec on an NT server to backup the Linux smb shares, but without success. Has anybody managed to accomplish this feat? I tried Veritas tech support, but their response was a terse "We don't support Linux. Thank you." The shares in question are accessible to the NT server, and to the username used by the backup process. Also, other shares that actually reside on NT boxes back up just fine. I'm using "security = domain". Any other ideas? Thanks, Mark -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
Veritas certainly claims to support Linux (excerpt from January 2000 press release at http://www.veritas.com/us/aboutus/pressroom/2000/00-01-24-0.html <http://www.veritas.com/us/aboutus/pressroom/2000/00-01-24-0.html> ): VERITAS Software Linux Solutions Today VERITAS Software offers backup and restore clients for Linux via agents for its leading VERITAS NetBackupTM and VERITAS Backup ExecTM data protection solutions. VERITAS NetBackupTM client software for Linux enables high-speed backup "over the wire" to VERITAS NetBackupTM media servers. The VERITAS NetBackupTM Linux client facilitates high performance data protection for Red Hat Linux, SuSE Linux and Caldera OpenLinux servers or workstations.
