Backup Exec RALUS Add-on [13.0.5204.1]
What is it?: Backup Exec Remote Agent for Linux and UNIX servers (RALUS).
What is required: ReadyNAS x86 system (NVX,Pro,2100,3100,3200,4200,Pro2/4/6), Symantec Backup Exec with RALUS license.
(NV+/1100 are not supported)
Where to get it: BackupExec_13.0.5204.1-x86.bin (10/27/11)
Like other ReadyNAS add-ons, install it in FrontView via System>Update>Local.
How to use it: Once installed, you can see it listed in FrontView>Services>Installed Add-ons. In there, you can set the IP of your Backup Exec server, so the agent can properly announce itself to the backup server.
ReadyNAS.com article: Using the Symantec RALUS agent with the ReadyNAS
From Backup Exec server, if you create a new backup job, you should see the agent under Favorite Resources>Linux/Unix Servers. If you don’t see it right away, try stopping and starting it via FrontView. The default agent setting is to announce itself every four hours. We may add an option in FrontView to make this time shorter.
Please provide feedback of your experience with the RALUS agent. Does it resolve 'agent missing' errors in your backup jobs, does it increase performance?

- you should see the agent under Favorite Resources>Linux/Unix Servers
I had installed the RALUS but it's quite odd the RDNP 4 is not detected under Favorite Resource>Linux/Unix Servers it appears under Domains/AD Domains.
And I'm not able to access it even though I specified the username as "admin" and my correct password.
Any ideas guys, please help. anyone encountered same problem?
Or am I missing something? firmware is latest Radiatior 4.2.21 - Hi,
Where can we find the old version of the ralus add on ?
thank you - Is this what you mean by the old add-on?: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=30070
- Yes. Is it compatible with my NVX RAIDiator 4.2.16 and BAckup Exec 2010 ?
thank you - Backup Exec 2010 internally is version 13.0 and in my experience needs RALUS 13 on the Readynas.
My setup had issues before Raidiator 4.2.16 but with this version it works fine. Mind you that my Backup Exec is still 2010 R2, being 13.0 rev 4164. Not sure whether it works on 2010 R3, being 13.0 Rev 5204. After the issues I had I am reluctant to upgrade anything unless absolutely necessary.
