If you changed the default Storix Temp directory, described in Storix installation for Plug-in Live Client for Linux, ensure that the new Storix Temp directory exists before continuing with the steps in the following topics.
You must use sets — Backup Selection Set, Backup Options Set, Schedule Set, Target Set, and Advanced Options Set — to create a backup job and create a DR image. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Administrator’s Guide.

Boot Image: The plug-in scans the Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client machine and incorporates required system information, that is, NIC card driver files, and various OS data files into a CD creation file — entitled “linuxboot.iso”. This file can be restored to the NetVault Server where it would be used to create a bootable CD. This CD is then used to boot the same Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client the Boot Image data was taken from to prepare it for the recovery of its backed-up System Image information. |
• |
System Image: The plug-in performs a DR backup of the entire client system. This backup includes all system information for the Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, including all partition and Disk Boot Record information. |
• |
The Boot Images data backup incorporates driver information files from the /lib/modules directory on the client machine. Before backing up this data, ensure that proper device information files for all the devices used by the target client are available in the /lib/modules directory. |

Plug-in Live Client for Linux does not support the backup of Access Control Lists (ACLs) and attribute information. When a backup of a target Linux system is performed, these details are not included. After the restore of this backup is performed, any ACLs/attributes must be manually recreated. |

Plug-in Live Client for Linux does not support any backup options. Although is enabled in the WebUI, there are no options to set.
The final steps include setting additional options on the Schedule, Target Storage, and Advanced Options pages, submitting the job, and monitoring the progress through the Job Status and View Logs pages. These pages and options are common to all NetVault Plug-ins. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Administrator’s Guide.

Use the Schedule, Target Storage, and Advanced Options lists to configure any additional required options. |
