your system.
Installing VERITAS Backup Exec Remote Administrator on the Remote System

Using VERITAS Backup Exec Remote Administrator

VERITAS Backup Exec.
The Connect to Server window displays.
2. Enter the name of the NAS appliance in the Server field.

The Backup Exec Assistant window, which displays in front of the Backup Exec window, provides wizards for
many common backup tasks. You can also use the Tools menu on the Backup Exec window to display the
Backup Exec Assistant.
Use Remote Administrator to manage all your backup operations just as you would from the local application. See
the VERITAS Backup Exec documentation for more information about how to use the software.
Backup Software for Network Backups
You may back up your data volumes over the network to local area network (LAN)-attached backup servers. This backup
requires that you already have a backup server on your network.
Dell recommends that you use backup software network accelerator agents to greatly improve network backup
performance.
