UNIX, Linux, and Mac OS X Configuration Considerations

The following list describes issues that you should be aware of when configuring the client agent on the UNIX, Linux, and Mac OS X platforms.

• Session passwords—Session passwords cannot be longer than 22 bytes for UNIX, Linux, and Mac OS X sessions.
• Single character directory names—You may experience display issues in restore views when restoring single character directory names. The data appears correctly in the database view.
• Traverse Symbolic Links and Traverse NFS—The options Traverse Symbolic Links and Traverse Network File System (NFS) are not supported for restore operations.

Note: If a configuration discrepancy exists in the CA ARCserve Backup option definitions for these client agents, the options that were set through the Backup Manager always take precedence over the options manually entered in the uag.cfg configuration file.
