A Snap server uses SAMBA to emulate a Windows volume. Because of this, Backup Exec (tm) will recognize it as a remote Windows server.

This will require that a valid Remote Agent for Windows Server (RAWS) license to be installed on the media server. The Remote Agent does not need to be (and cannot be) installed on the SNAP server.

While backing up <<SNAP>> servers, Backup Exec will treat it as another Windows server on the network and thus demand "RAWS/RANT" but no component is required (in fact cannot be installed). The selections for the <<SNAP>> server backup need to be created through user-defined selections.


Note: A "<SNAP> server with user-defined-selection" can be used without requiring the "Remote Agent" license, but in order to avoid the "Licensing Error" in the job log, purchase and register the license on the media server, because for Backup Exec, it is just another Windows server on the network.


BACKUP: The selections for the SNAP server backup need to be created through user-defined selections.


NOTE: The compatibility of Windows NT Workstation 4.0 with SP 6a or NT Server 4.0 with SP 6a is only up to Backup Exec version 9.1. Backup Exec Version 10.0 and above do not support any Windows NT 4.0 Operating Systems. See the compatibility list for Backup Exec version 10.x in the related documents.
