Off-the-Shelf Backup Solutions for the Snap Server Off-the-Shelf Backup Solutions for the Snap Server Note These backup packages do not support the backup of Windows ACLs or legacy POSIX ACLs. If you use one of these packages, Adaptec strongly recommends you create a Snap Server disaster recovery image (see page 102) 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 Snap Server, including: • CA BrightStor ARCserver 11.5, 12.0 • EMC Legato NetWorker 7.3, 7.4 • Symantec Backup Exec 10d, 11d • Symantec NetBackup 6.5 Note GuardianOS 5.0 supports 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 Snap Server. Use the Maintenance > Host File Editor screen in the Snap Server's Administration Tool to supply a host-name-to-ip-address mapping that persists across system reboots. • Backup software sees the Snap Server as a UNIX/Linux client - When you configure a backup server to see the agent or client running on the Snap Server, 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 Snap Server. • A secure shell (SSH) client - To remotely install any backup solution on the Snap Server, you must have an SSH client installed on a remote workstation. The Adaptec 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.
