Verify that your environment meets the system requirements for the UNIX file system.
Operating System
Important: Use the most recent version of the operating system that is listed. The Metallic software fully supports the most recent version of an operating system, until the vendor ends support. More recent versions of the Metallic software might not install on operating systems that are not supported by the vendor anymore. For information about the support lifecycle of an operating system, contact the vendor.
Linux
Important: 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.
