NOTE:
  • *Supports SE Linux. Installing and using the File System agent on RedHat Enterprise Linux with default SE Linux settings requires specific Linux configuration.
  • The File System agent supports Microsoft failover clustering for both CSV and cluster volumes configurations.
  • Kernel versions are applicable for Block-Based Backups (BBB), that is, for image-level backups only. The File System agent uses BBB technology if there are no exclusion filters associated with a policy. Only LVM-based volumes are supported for protection. Backups of non-LVM/physical disks are not supported with BBB.
  • If a protection policy is associated with one or more exclusion filters, the file system agent performs backups using File-Based Backup (FBB) technology. Backups using FBB are independent of the kernel version.
  • Backups in the following scenarios are always taken using FBB regardless of whether the policy is associated with exclusion filters or not, as BBB does not support these use cases:
    • Backups on Oracle Linux 7.x UEK platform (use --skip-driver during agent installation to skip the BBB driver)
    • Backups on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
    • Backups of non-LVM/physical disks
    • Backups of btrfs volumes
  • The File System agent on AIX supports only FBB. BBB is not supported.
  • The File System agent on AIX requires the xlc runtime environment 16.1.0.7 or later.
  • The File System agent supports disaster recovery backups, which consist of bare metal recovery (BMR) backup and system state recovery (SSR) backup, for Windows only.
  • The File System agent supports Microsoft Distributed File System (DFS).
