System state backup requirements for Linux

Software requirements

To create the rescue ISO image, the Backup Manager utilizes Relax-and-Recover (ReaR) whose dependencies are installed by the Backup Manager installer using the system package manager.

If these dependencies are not installed during the Backup Manager installation process, then backup session errors apprise you about the missed dependencies to be installed manually by the system package manager.

To install the necessary dependencies manually, run the following commands in the terminal:

• Ubuntu & Debian:

  # apt-get install –y binutils parted

• CentOS & RHEL:

  # yum install –y binutils parted
