Hi All,
I need to be able to backup specific folders on 5 different PC's, recently I've been using robocopy to copy the files to server then the server backs up the files.
I've looked into DLO but that seems to backup per user instead of the machine, is there any other method people could recommend to back up these PC's.
Thanks
Mark

I contacted symantec support and was told that there is no cost for installing the BE Agent on xp and 2k machine.
I've now installed and running well.
Thanks for your help

Hi there,
You can look at installing the Remote Agent for Windows Servers which is licensed. In this case you'd need 5 x RAWS agent licenses.
This will allow you to back up the files/folders you need on a backup.
This would only be relevant up to Windows Vista...Windows 7 would need Backup Exec 2010 installed in order to support RAWS being installed.
Thanks!

Backup Exec 2010 can not be installed on Win 7 Operating System. Only Remote agent can be installed on the Win 7 machine, Please refer to the " Remote Agents Agent for Windows Systems (AWS) Compatibility" section of Software Compatibility List (SCL) for BE 2010.
Also Win 7 is not listed under " Media Servers Media Server Operating System Compatibility" section in SCL

VERY aware of that. If it wasn't clear enough, I meant that the user needs BE 2010 installed in order to back up Windows 7 via the RAWS agent...
