Ok, we are at a loss here trying to backup a linux box to a backupexec server...
we got a backupexec 12.5 server and a "backupexec for windows servers linux agent" (sigh) running on one of our linux boxes.
When a backup runs, we get exceptions reported for our symbolic links. it says something like:
BACKUP- \\<servername>\[ROOT]
File
\\<servername>\[ROOT]/<foldername>/<symlink> is in the backup selection list but was not found.
Looking at the selection list, the symlink shows as a 1k file on BUE.
Tools-Options-Backup has Backup files and directories by following symbolic links/junction points selected. These same checkboxes are selected on the Job Setup-Job Properties-Edit Template-Advanced
Additionally, all the checkboxes are checkeced on Tools-Options-Linux, Unix, and Macintosh and on the Job Set-Job Properties-Edit Template-Linux, Unix, and Macintosh. These checkboxes read: "Preserve change time", "Follow local mount points", "Follow remote mount points", "Backup contents of soft-linked directories" and "Lock remote files", but apparently changing those options produce the same result.
Any help on how to get BUE to make a proper backup would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
