    Do you want to configure GRT backup to a Linux media server?

    Please have a look at these official Symantec videos: 

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO41825

    This one says the following: 

    NFS and GRT
    For GRT to work properly, we need to install and configure certain NFS components on the Windows media servers being used for the backup, as well as the clients. On Windows platforms for either the media server or the client, the Windows version must be 2003 R2 SP2 minimum for NFS stability and compatibility with GRT. Other supported media server platforms are listed here:
    AIX 5L
    HP-UX HP 9000 PA-RISC
    HP-UX HP Integrity (IA-64)
    RedHat Enterprise Linux
    Solaris SPARC
    SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
     
    For these platforms, we will not be covering the specifics of NFS configuration. Although NFS is typically setup for these operating systems already, it is recommended that this be confirmed.

     Also have a look at the following topic in  NetBackup for Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator's Guide http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC5172 :

    Configuring a UNIX or Linux media server and Windows clients for backups and restores that use Granular Recovery Technology

    This is what I see in the manual as far as Unix or Linux media servers are concerned:

    No other configuration is required for the UNIX or Linux media server.

    About the Exchange client:

    Enable or install NFS on the Exchange granular clients.
