Register the Linux Agent with Relax-and-Recover and enable BMR backups

Before you can enable BMR backups with the Linux Agent, the Relax-and-Recover tool must be installed on the Linux system. See Install and verify Relax-and-Recover for Linux BMR backups. You can then enable Linux BMR backups when you install the Agent. See Install the Linux Agent.

After the Linux Agent is installed, you can enable Linux BMR backups using this procedure. You must also follow this procedure if you reinstall or change the installation path of the Relax-and-Recover tool after enabling Linux BMR backups.

You can also disable Linux BMR backups on Agents where they are enabled. See Disable BMR backups.

To register the Linux Agent with Relax-and-Recover and enable BMR backups:

  1. In the Agent installation directory (/opt/BUAgent, by default), run the following command:

    ./bmrregister

  2. At the Enable Bare Metal Restore (BMR) prompt, enter Y.

  3. When prompted, enter the path to the Relax-and-Recover tool.

    By default, the tool is installed in /usr/sbin/rear. The Relax-and-Recover tool must already be installed on the Linux server. See Install and verify Relax-and-Recover for Linux BMR backups.
