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.
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.
To back up a persistent image, perform the following steps:
1. Use the NAS Manager to create a persistent image.
NOTE: Before installing the backup software, check the Dell Support website at support.dell.com for the latest driver and software updates. You might
need to install the updates after completing the procedures below.
NOTE: VERITAS Backup Exec supports installation using Terminal Services and management using VERITAS Remote Administrator.
NOTE: After the software installation is complete, disconnect the network drive for the CD share before you reboot your system. To disconnect the
network drive, right-click My Appliance on the NAS system desktop, and select Disconnect Network Drive. Click the CD share in the Disconnect
Network Drive window, and then click OK.
NOTE: Do not use Computer Associates ARCserve to back up persistent images.
