I downloaded and installed the Remote Agent for Linux for Veritas 9.1, ran through the configuration as posted on Veritas website then rebooted. Went to my 2003 server with Veritas on it and it found Centos box with no problems. I am reading through information trying to decide the best way to back it up. Back it all up and store it on a drive or be selective. I am thinking the first option that way all I have to do is reinstall then restore. At least the theory sounds great. -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of King, John (Greg) (LMIT-HOU) Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2006 1:51 PM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: RE: [CentOS] Backing up CentOS 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. -greg > -----Original Message----- > From: centos-bounces at centos.org > [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Chris Peikert > Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2006 1:43 PM > To: 'CentOS mailing list' > Subject: RE: [CentOS] Backing up CentOS > > Thanks.
