About the Linux CDP Agent
The Linux Agent is the portion of the synchronization service that
runs on the Linux Host system. A CDP (Backup) Agent is required for each
of the Linux systems that will be using the R1Soft Backup services.
The Linux Agent does not require a GUI (x-windows system) to run and
can be installed on the Linux Host with text-mode interface only. The
Linux Agent listens on TCP port 1167 for Backup and Restore requests
from the CDP Server.
Note: The Linux Agent
must be installed on each Linux system that will be using the
synchronization service.
Righteous Backup for Linux includes pre-built Kernel modules for most
popular Linux distributions. The Righteous CDP (Backup) Agent will
verify that the Host system is using a supported Linux-based operating
system during the CDP Agent installation. If you are using an
unsupported distribution or have customized the Kernel of a supported
distribution, you will need to run the Righteous Custom Kernel
Installer.
Note: You can find more information on how to use
your Linux Agent and its Command Line Interface (CLI) tools in the Linux
Agent CLI Guide.
