I downloaded and installed the Remote Agent for Linux for Veritas 9.1, ran
through the configuration as posted on Veritas website then rebooted. Went
to my 2003 server with Veritas on it and it found Centos box with no
problems. I am reading through information trying to decide the best way to
back it up. Back it all up and store it on a drive or be selective. I am
thinking the first option that way all I have to do is reinstall then
restore. At least the theory sounds great.

Something I forgot to mention about the backupexec agent. Depending on
how restrictive your iptables firewall is (mine denies all in/outbound
connections by default then I layer what is needed using fwbuilder) your
going to need to make corrections for the agent to 'advertise' itself to
the backupexec system and then create rules to allow the server to tell
the agent to start the backup/restore.
