I am running veritas, and I needed to install a UNIX AGENT from veritas on
the linux box. It didnt make much sense to me that I couldn't just do a
backup through the samba share...

Hi Norman,
if you use winbind then you can access a share using normal windows NT boxes
like your Arcserve server. However, you must use a DOMAIN Account(not unix
account), ie. MYDOMAIN\Administrator.
You could map a temporary drive from NT lie this: net use t:
\\sambaserver\backupshare password /user:mydomain\Administrator
A problem is the area of file permissions and ACLS. First of all your
backup account must have read permission to this share for this to work.
Secondly I am quite certain that a restore with Arcserve will not have the
correct permissions /acls.
I get around this by using "tar -cp" to make a first unix backup
capturing
permission settings. Arcserve then simply collects the tar files from this
share. If you use ACLs you need to use a different unix utility like
"star"
or "xfsdump" (if you use an XFS file system).
Some versions of Arcserve can only backup local files...
hope this helps
