DPX Client for Linux

This section will guide you through the process of installing and configuring the Catalogic DPX Client for Linux.

PreviousHow to UninstallNextRequirements

Install the DPX Client on your client machines and register these client nodes with the DPX Master Server so that DPX will be able to protect data in these client nodes. Refer to this section to install the DPX Client on either one of the following UNIX and UNIX-like systems:

  • Linux

  • Novell (Micro Focus) Open Enterprise Server (OES)

  • IBM AIX

Note. For each OS there is a dedicated installer. Be sure to download the right one.

For Microsoft Windows, see .

Tip. To protect Linux VMs on either VMware or Microsoft Hyper-V, also consider the Agentless Backup which does not require the Catalogic DPX Client application on the Linux system. See .
