Something I forgot to mention about the backupexec agent. Depending on how restrictive your iptables firewall is (mine denies all in/outbound connections by default then I layer what is needed using fwbuilder) your going to need to make corrections for the agent to 'advertise' itself to the backupexec system and then create rules to allow the server to tell the agent to start the backup/restore.

Thanks. I found on Symantecs website the download for the Remote backup piece of Veritas for Linux. Veritas gives a very easy to follow instructions on how to install it. I probably just have to create the username Veritas uses to backup with on the Linux box. Theory of operation says that should work. I bought Red Hat Enterprise 4 for Dummies and it finally came in so when I get chances I been reading it.

I saw these links at RedHat about active directory and such while looking for recompiling kernel questions
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_71_2337.shtm
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_71_2336.shtm
It might point you to more specific articles that will help.

Thanks guys I will look into using Veritas as soon as I figure out how to get Windows and Linux to talk.

Well the idea is if I can get my CentOS box to communicate
with my Windows
2003 network I was going to do a backup and put the

though. I haven't tackled trying to get the CentOS and
Windows to talk yet.
I have lots of reading to do on that subject yet. Thanks
for the list of
backup software.
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.
