The install script actually ran okay except for installing the startup script (which I had to edit anyway), and the agent seems to be running fine. It uses its own password and authentication so I didn't have the problem I did with the modern RALUS. I'm still open to any input but I probably won't be spending more time on getting the modern agent working if I don't have any new ideas. Thanks, ~~~~~~~ Hi John, Do you know the difference between the legacy and new one in term of functionalities ? Also, is the legacy agent an option during the installation of ralus ? I don't remember having that option in backup exec 10 Regards
