[Samba] BackupExec Agent on Samba

[Aaron Grewell]

On BackupExec 9.0, if I create a job and go down into Settings->General in
the Backup Method box there is a dropdown which talks about the different
methods that can be used.  Try the ones that don't involve the Archive Bit
and see if they are closer to your needs than the default.  I haven't done
this myself so I can't give you more than that.

HTH,
-Aaron

Is there an improved BackupExec Unix agent available that works with Samba?
If not, can someone tell me how to work around the lack of the archive bit
that Linux has?  In particular, RedHat Linux 7.2 is the system I'm looking
for help on.

I found the following hints in an older version of this newsletter, Samba
Digest, Vol. 3, Issue 34, sent March 21, 2003, that had this in
it:

Yes, we have been using the Linux agent for some time now on 3 of our 
Samba servers with BackupExec 8.5 on NT. It works well, once you figure 
out how to adjust the backup scheme to take into account the lack of an 
archive bit, which limits the types of backups that can be done.

This was submitted by Shawn Wright.  Andrew Barbara immediately posted a
question about how Shawn had solved his problem, but I have found no reply
since then.  If these people or anyone else has solved the same problem,
please respond.

Thanks,
Kevin Bramblett
