1 Hello Gentoo Lover's,
2
3 Really interesting thread!
4 I'm still looking for a good disaster recovery/backup solution for Gentoo;
5 as we use already Veritas to backup our MS servers (essentially because of
6 Exchange / SQL) I've tried to install the Backup Exec agent for Unix on a
7 few servers to keep the same solution for our entire infrastructure. (For
8 the disaster recovery I'm waiting for the Gentoo Installer before replacing
9 the bare metal)

11 This message is more targetted for Andy as he seems to be more lucky than
12 me. So I've installed be.agent (provided with Backup Exec 9.0) and
13 configured it to advertise to our NT BE server. The Gentoo servers are
14 appearing into the Remote Selections - Unix Agents, I can browse the
15 exported directories but when I try to backup something it fail with the
16 following error :

33 Any idea? The doc about the unix agent is really poor :-/
