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.
Installing Network Accelerator Agents
VERITAS Backup Exec accelerator agents can be installed remotely by installing the agent to the system from a remote
system on the network.
See the documentation for your backup software for more information about how to install the network accelerator
agents.
Backing Up Dell ActiveArchive™ Persistent Images
Backing up persistent images eliminates the possibility of files changing during the back up job. Persistent images always
contain the data that existed when the persistent image was taken. However, backing up persistent images requires that
you perform several steps and should be performed only by advanced backup administrators. Dell recommends that you
use the available open file agents in VERITAS Backup Exec to back up your open files rather than backing up persistent
images.
