  • but where are the steps for a Linux client installation??
    I have all Netbackup documents but don't help me now. I don's have time to read hundreds of pages.



    So I understand a step by step support for a intallation:

    1 Log on to the system where you want to install NetBackup Client. Be sure to log on with administrator privileges.

    2 Start Launch.exe in the source “Setup files” directory.

    3 On the initial browser screen
    Click > NetBackup Installation, and on the following screen, select Install Client Software.

    4 On the Welcome screen:
    click >Next.

    5 On the License Agreement screen, accept the license agreement:
    click >Next.

    6 On the Select where you want to install Veritas NetBackup screen, select Install to this computer only, perform Typical installation
    click >Next

    7 On the NetBackup System Names screen, to the Master Server Name enter “myserver.net” ,
    Uncheck Install LiveUpdate Server
    click >Next

    8 On the Ready to Install the Program screen,
    click >Install

    9 After you click Install, the installation process begins and a screen appears that shows you the progress of the installation. This process may take several minutes.

    10 click >Finish

  • Hello
    Please use this docs:
    http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/290199.htm
    http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/284276.htm
    If You will encounter any problems let us know!!
    Here is the list for all NBU related docs: http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/290282.htm

    I am hoping You do have the CDs/DVDs for this OS!!

  • either on CD/DVD or over your network, then installation should be as simple as cd'ing into that location & running the install script.

    From the NetBackup Installation Guide UNIX & Linux Release 6.5 (page 89) :
    "...
    Installing UNIX clients locally
    The following procedure installs the NetBackup client software on a local machine.
    To install client software locally on a UNIX client

    1 Insert the NetBackup client CD into the drive on the client computer and mount it. For instructions on how to mount the CD on your operating system, refer to the appropriate section of “Mounting the software media” on page 21. For information on CD contents and exact names, refer to “Contents of the NetBackup media kit” on page 10.

    2 Change your working directory to the CD directory if you have a CD, or to the directory that contains the downloaded files:
    cd /cd_mount_point
    The cd_mount_point is the path to the directory where you can access the CD.
    For Macintosh OS X 10.3.x systems only: You can access the CD from the following location:
    cd /volumes/cd name

    3 Enter the following command to execute the installation script:
    ./install
    The client binaries represent the operating system versions where the binaries were compiled. Often, the binaries function perfectly on later versions of the operating system. For example, Solaris 9 binaries also are used on the Solaris 10 level of the operating system. The installation procedure attempts to load the appropriate binaries for your system. If the script does not recognize the local operating system, it presents choices.

    4 Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

    5 After the installation is complete, unmount the client CD.
    ..."
  •  You need the clients2 cd to install clients for suse linux. ftp the software to the client, and extract it. Then run the install script from the folder created by extraction.
