Symantec Backup Exec

Note:

Ensure that you understand how to set security for groups on Linux servers before you assign a Group ID for the beoper group.

Step 1

Navigate to the Linux server on which you want to install the Remote Media Agent.

If the Linux server is in a NIS domain, navigate to the NIS domain’s group file.

See the NIS documentation for information on how to add a group to a NIS domain group file.

Step 2

Create a group with the following case-sensitive name:

beoper

See the operating system documentation for more information about how to create a group.

Step 3

In the beoper group, add the users that you want to have permission to back up and restore the Linux server.

See the operating system documentation for more information about how to add users to a group

Step 4

Create a Backup Exec logon account for each user that you add to the beoper group.

See Creating a Backup Exec logon account.
