linux and backupexec
We have a linux command line server setup to broadcast to one of our backupexec 2010 servers.
The current backupexec server can see the linux box when selecting backup jobs, so the linux server’s backup exec client is broadcasting to that server.
We now have a new backupexec server setup and need the linux box to broadcast to this new server, currently it can only see the windows servers but not the linux server. Note that this linux server is command line only with no GUI.
My problem is I need a linux command to tell the linux server point to the new backupexec server..
If anyone can help it will be mostly appreciated.

Here is the howto for backupexec agent setup

The file you need to edit is /etc/bkupexec/agent.cfg.

Can't seem to find the agent.cfg file.
It was originally configured by someone who has since left the company. The agent is working correctly as our current backupexec server can see it but we now need it to broadcast to the new server.
Can't seem to see the bkupexec in the /etc folder. Could it be located elsewhere?

restart the agent after you modify the configuration file.

Broadcast means that packets will send to all the machines within the same subnet or vlan.
One-to-one delivery.
First, you need to make sure that the linux server is on the same subnet as the new backupexec server.
Second, you should edit the file /etc/VRTSralus/ralus.cfg (I'm not sure the path is the same as yours) and
add an entry for the new Backup Exec server that will back up this Linux system.
