About This Guide

This document provides information about installing VERITAS®Backup Exec™ 8.0 and

Computer Associates®ARCserve®2000, and using this software to manage local backups.

NOTE: Before installing the backup software, check http://support.dell.com for the latest driver

updates for your software. You may need to install these updates after completing the procedures

below.

NOTE: When backing up a data volume, Dell recommends that you deselect the ActiveArchive

subdirectory that is contained within each volume. If you do not deselect this subdirectory, your

backup software will back up all the snapshots on your system. This action creates multiple

copies of your data, which causes you to use more tapes than necessary.
