Client Agent Home Directory
The default client agent
home directory, BABuagent, is automatically defined
during installation and setup. If required, however, you can specify a different
home directory.
To locate the name of the home directory, look in the agent.cfg file under the
BABagntux section of the file. The name of the client agent home directory is
defined by the HOME variable.
How Common Agent Connection Requests Work
To initiate a client agent session, the BrightStor ARCserve Backup server
requests a connection for a UNIX, Linux, or Mac OS X client agent to use a
specific backup component (such as BROWSER, BACKUP, or RESTORE). When
it receives the request, the Common Agent accepts the connection and verifies
the user’s credentials for the system.
Upon user validation, the Common Agent checks the agent.cfg file for an entry
corresponding to that particular client agent and the specified component.
Only after it has validated both the client agent and the requested component
does the Common Agent activate the client agent and the component. The
Common Agent then returns to a state of waiting for additional requests.
