Backup Exec UNIX Agent

[mnguyen_2]

Hello,

I'm using Veritas Backup Exec 9.0 for Windows Server 2000 and for the media backup is Dell Powervault 110T SDLT 320 Tape Drive. Just recently loaded the Backup Exec Unix Agent on a UNIX server that is connected on the network for UNIX remote backup. I submitted the backup on the Windows 2000 server to backup remotely entire root directory on Unix system. The backup took a couple of hours to backup entire remote UNIX box approx. 50 GIGABYTES, but the job monitor status is still running even nothing else to backup. The funny thing is that the backup system think there are still 600 GIGABYTES needs to backup. I let it run for another 10 hours, the sizes of spaces for backup are the same, but the time collapsed are increased. What is wrong? Please help. Thank you very much.
