Author Backing up Linux with Backup Exec 10 Ralus agent.

I'm using BE10 trying to backup a Linux-server,
I've installed the Backup Exec Agent on the Linux-server and everything
seems fine so far, I can access the Linux from the BE Media Server and
select everything for backup.
When I start a "Testrun" everythings seems OK, got about 5GB of data to
backup according to the testrun.

BUT after the "real" backup finishes it has only backed up about 12Mb
of data!!!! I don't get any errors what so ever and when I check the
Job History it looks like all files (66000) has been backed up but
there is no real data on the tape.

I have other Linux server I backup this way and they work OK.
What could be the cause of this problem?

There are a couple possibilities. Look at these Technotes and see if they
relate to your issue.

http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/275533.htm
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/275020.htm
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/277508.htm (Make sure you don't have
files excluded)
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/276361.htm

and finally, make sure you install this patch.
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/276361.htm. You can use the "Veritas
Update" option listed under the "Veritas Backup Exec for Windows Servers"
icon in program files. It will show you all related patches available for
your build on the Backup Exec Software Update web site. Its great for
staying up to date with the latest patches.

Thanks
Nick
