I am running Veritas Backup Exec Version 9, rev 445 on a windows 2000 server. I'd like to backup my SUN machine running Solaris 8, and a Linux (linux 8) machine to this server. What is the first step I should take to o this? Is there client SW for the SUN & Linux box?
 
There is a unix agent you can download
The same agent will work for both of your flavors.

I can suggest to not use passwords when configuring the agent. when prompted to enter the name of the media server..use the up address. Publish the root / folder
The linix box must be rebooted to start the agent or issue the command \etc\bkupexec\ ./agent.be &
cycle the services on the media server - wait about 30 seconds and you should se s Unix Agens Icon under remote selections
