Third-Party Backup Software for Network
Backups
You may back up your data volumes over the network to LAN Attached Backup Serv-
ers. This requires that you already have a backup server on your network.
Dell recommends use of Backup Software Network Accelerator Agents to greatly
improve network backup performance.
NOTICE: Do not install or use any Open File Agents to back up your
PowerVault 735N system. These agents interfere with ActiveArchive, and
could result in the loss of your system’s snapshots and in performance
degradation.
