You're probably right. If you wanted to, you could move the Linux netbackup installation to /compat/linux/usr/openv/netbackup and put the FreeBSD client in its proper location. The client is (probably) necessary to do the catalog backups on the master server. In this situation, the Linux master server would see the Linux client for the catalog backups, but if you had to run the client for some other reason, you'd get the native FreeBSD client. > I suppose one way round this would be to use VmWare for Linux on the > FreeBSD host, and run NetBackup under this in a "real" Linux > environment, but that seems very messy. Yes, but FreeBSD's Linux compatability should be able to handle this, though it might need a little bit of help. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon(at)wolves.k12.mo.us FreeBSD: The fastest, most open, and most stable OS on the planet - Available for IA32, IA64, AMD64, PC98, Alpha, and UltraSPARC architectures - PowerPC, ARM, MIPS, and S/390 under development - http://www.freebsd.org Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
