Off-the-Shelf Backup Solutions for the SnapServer Off-the-Shelf Backup Solutions for the SnapServer Note These backup packages do not support the backup of Windows ACLs or legacy POSIX ACLs. If you use one of these packages, Overland Storage strongly recommends you create a SnapServer disaster recovery image (see page 118) before you perform a backup. In addition to the integrated backup solutions, GuardianOS supports a number of off-the-shelf backup packages that the user can install on the SnapServer, including: • CA BrightStor ARCserver 11.5, 12.0 • EMC Legato NetWorker 7.3, 7.4 • Symantec Backup Exec 11d, 12, 12.5 • Symantec NetBackup 6.5 Note GuardianOS 5.0 and higher support the above versions of these backup solutions only. Preparing to Install a Backup Solution Before performing one of the backup solution installation procedures described here, make sure you have the following information and tools: • Backup and media server IP addresses - Most backup agents need to know the IP addresses of the backup and media servers you plan to use with the SnapServer. Use the Maintenance > Host File Editor screen in the SnapServer's Administration Tool to supply a host-name-to-ip-address mapping that persists across system reboots. • SnapServer is seen by Backup software as a UNIX/Linux client - When you configure a backup server to see the agent or client running on the SnapServer, assume the server is a UNIX or Linux client. • The agent/client files required by your backup software - Typically, these files are either provided on your backup software's User CD or are available for download from the manufacturer's website. You will need to copy these files (usually delivered in a compressed format, e.g., as *.rpm, *.tgz, or *tar files) to the SnapServer. • A secure shell (SSH) client - To remotely install any backup solution on the SnapServer, you must have an SSH client installed on a remote workstation. The SnapServer SSH implementation requires SSH v2. If you do not already have an SSH client application installed, you can download one from the Internet. Note The commands you must enter via SSH to install your backup agent are case sensitive; pay careful attention to the capitalization of commands, and enter them exactly as shown.
