Backup Exec 是一款主要用于Windows平台的数据保护产品,但是它也包含了用于LinuxUnix的代理程序。要清楚你所使用的Backup Exec支持哪些LinuxUnix系统,请访问技术支持网站上的软件兼容性列表,以现在用户数量最多的BE10d为例,它的兼容性列表网址是:

[url]http://support.veritas.com/docs/278254[/url]

你可以在软件兼容性列表中发现两个用于LinuxUnix的代理产品,它们的兼容性不同:
Remote Agent for Linux and UNIX Servers (RALUS) Compatibility //
RALUS,新的代理程序,收费,性能较高。
Legacy Linux/UNIX/Mac Compatibility  //
传统的代理程序,免费,性能较低,以后会被RALUS取代。

查过兼容性列表之后,如果你所使用的操作系统包括在兼容性列表之中,就可以考虑采用Backup Exec来保护你的系统。如果兼容性列表中没有列出你所使用的系统,则可能存在兼容性问题,建议先进行测试,确认可以使用再购买。

下面将介绍RALUS的安装(Legacy Agent现在很少有人使用,就不介绍了)

下面假定你的Media Server(安装有Backup Exec的备份服务器)己经安装好,并且安装了RALUS选件。

首先,RALUS的安装程序较大,被放在单独的光盘中提供。如果没有安装光盘,也可以通过Symantec网站下载:

[url]http://support.veritas.com/docs/279329[/url]

下载的安装包是压缩的,需要先解包,光盘中的安装程序不是压缩的,可以直接安装。下面是我的安装记录(用的是BE11d RALUS安装程序),中间加了一些解释(红色部分)。

[root@redhatas3 /]# mount /mnt/cdrom
[root@redhatas3 /]# cd /mnt/cdrom
[root@redhatas3 cdrom]# ./installralus     //
执行安装脚本

                      Remote Agent Media Server Configuration                     
To display the Remote Agent as a selection in a media server's backup selection tree, and to be able to specify a local network for use between the Remote Agent and a media server, enter the names or IP addresses of the media servers that you want the Remote Agent to communicate with.
        An IP Address: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
        A Host Name: COMPUTERNAME
Enter a directory host:mybeserver   //
输入备份服务器的名称,RALUS会定期向备份服务器通告自己的存在,收到通知后备份服务器会在备份选择窗口中显示该Linux/Unix主机。

                           Remote Agent User Group Setup                           
To perform backups, you must have a 'beoper' user group. This user group can be created only if you are not using NIS server. Your system will be scanned to detect a NIS server, group and membership.

Press [Return] to continue:
    Checking if system uses NIS server: .................................. No
The installer will now check your system for the 'beoper' user group and root membership.

Press [Return] to continue:
    Checking for 'beoper' user group: .............................. Not Found
    Checking for 'root' user membership in 'beoper' user group: .... Not Found
You can create 'beoper' user group manually or you can choose to have it created automatically.
Do you want installer to create 'beoper' user group? [y, n] (y)
Do you want to use specific group ID when creating 'beoper' user group? [y, n] (n)

    Creating group 'beoper': ............................................ Done  //
如果系统不采用NIS管理用户,安装向导会在本地组中添加beoper组,属于beoper组中的用户可以用于备份该主机上的资源,在备份服务器连接该主机时使用。

Do you want to add the 'root' user to 'beoper' user group? [y, n] (y)

    Adding 'root' user to 'beoper' user group: ......................... Done  //
如果将root用户加入beoper组,则可以在备份服务器使用root用户连接到该主机,可备份或恢复根下的所有文件和目录。
