I thought I'd try here as this group may have some experience in this area. Thanks, Drew -------- Original Message ------------- I'm trying to use the Linux agent for BackupExec on my FBSD 4.5 box. I've gotten it installed, can see the drives, and can initiate backups. However, most files are skipped as BackupExec sees them as "open" and skips them, even though I've set the backup job to copy open files. Has anyone else had any success with this? I'm aware that BackupExec is not the best choice for backing up FBSD boxes. However, I'm in a Windows oriented shop and that is their product of choice and thus my only option at this time. If I can get this to work, at least I'll *have* backups. :) Thanks, Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
