Installation of Symantec Backup Exec Remote Agent

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Linux或Unix的代理程序。要清楚你所使用的Backup Exec支持哪些Linux或Unix系统，请访问技术支持网站上的软件兼容性列表，它的兼容性列表网址是：



你可以在软件兼容性列表中发现两个用于Linux或Unix的代理产品，它们的兼容性不同：
Remote Agent for Linux and UNIX Servers (RALUS) Compatibility     // 即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：



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：

root@server1 # tar xf Q180968.BE.RALUS.10.1.5629.3.ESD.tar
root@server1 # ls
Q180968.BE.RALUS.10.1.5629.3.ESD.tar  sun
linux
root@server1 # cd sun
root@server1 # ls
installralus    perl            pkgs            ralus           uninstallralus
root@server1 # ./installralus                      // 执行安装脚本
