Third-Party Backup Software for Network
Backups
You may back up your data volumes over the network to local area network (LAN)-attached
backup servers. This backup requires that you already have a backup server on your network.
You are recommended to use backup software network accelerator agents to greatly improve
network backup performance.

VERITAS Backup Exec and Computer Associates ARCserve network accelerator agents can
both be installed remotely by installing the agent to the system from a remote system on
the network.
See the documentation for your backup software for more information on how to install the
network accelerator agents.
