Is there any reason why BackupExec 2010 cant find any Windows 7 machines?
If I install RAWS (from the backup exec directory) on Windows XP machines, my backup exec server is able to find them quite easily. Is Win7 not allowing RAWS to publish?

Anybody know where I can find a "how to" for upgrading Linux remote agents to Backup Exec 2010?
I haven't been able to locate one and it's not as simple as deploying from the server app like it is for Windows.
