I have not looked into this for a few years, but at the time, Veritas
provided a free license for you to download/use a copy of their Unix
backup agent to run on Linux. Go to their support site. If you can find
a Linux agent, go ahead and use that. If not, I believe I used their
generic Unix agent. This will allow you to backup your Linux server to a
Backup Exec server directly.
