Does anyone have Veritas Back-up agent working on Fedora Core4 64 Bit (agent. be)

[John Gallagher]

Thanks,

I have a call into Veritas about XFS Support.  

The directories below the mount point are exported via NFS.  This may be a
kluge but ..... Could I mount them via NFS in order for the back-up agent to
be able to read  the file system?

My only other options are to use Samba or a NFS mount from the back-up
server (W2k OS).
