Miscellaneous
The File System iDataAgent will be automatically installed during installation of this software, if it is not already installed. For System Requirements and install information specific to the File System iDataAgents, refer to:
On Solaris computers, the operating system must have been installed with at least the user level software option selected.
.NET Framework
On most versions of Windows, the .NET Framework 4.6.2 is automatically installed.
SELinux
If you have SELinux enabled on the client computer, create the SELinux policy module as a root user before performing a backup. The SELinux Development package must be installed on the client.

Notes
-
The Unix File System snapshots cannot be backed up by non-CXBF backup jobs. The Unix QSnap® (cxbf) driver does not support volumes created by Solaris Volume Manager.
-
On AIX clients, Data Blocks Only backups are supported for full backups only.
-
The Image Level iDataAgent on Unix can perform a File Level Restore only when the OS of the Client computer and the MediaAgent are the same.
For a complete listing of applications supported for each operating system, see Image Level - Application Support.

Notes
-
For Windows, when volumes are backed up using the Image Level agent, sharing attributes for volumes and folders are not retained.
For Windows, file-level restores require the MediaAgent Index Cache to reside on an NTFS partition. In the case of a MediaAgent whose Index Cache resides on a FAT partition, use volume-level restores.
