Here's the problem: backups of a Debian 4 Linux machine running RALUS agent v 12.0.1364, from a BEx 12.0.1364 server running on Win2k3, fail when the Linux Netfilter (iptables) firewall was turned on. Even with the ndmp port (TCP 10000) opened up, th...
After upgrading BackupExec server to SP2, and deciding to follow Symantec's advice to upgrade the remote agents as well, I had to manually upgrade the RALUS client on my Debian 4.0 etch/lenny/sid systems. Here's what I did: Download the Linux patch f...
I've searched the Net, the Symantec KB and these forums for a solution to this problem for hours, tested many possible solutions, but haven't found an answer, so here goes: I'm running Backup Exec 12 server (build 1364) on Windows 2003 and have been ...

Here's the solution (well at least my solution at any rate): I didn't care for other posts on the boards that recommended disabling the firewall altogether. Surely there must be some way to get at least some protection. So I turned on iptables loggin...
Update 10/6/08: Well I'm sorta glad to say that I was on the right track; there was a Hotfix that was automatically installed via LiveUpdate just prior to my Linux backups failing. However, I'm a bit red-faced to admit that I ignored Backup Exec's pl...
Update. Fixed! Got this problem fixed with Symantec's help. Some MSI/exe files were missing from the \Windows\Installer\<GUID>\ directory. We had to uninstall Backup Exec using the Windows Uninstaller Tool from Microsoft, reboot, then reinstalling BE...
