Backup Exec - Create a CentOS VM to use mhVTL

There are many kinds of backup solutions. NetBackup, Backup Exec, Time Navigator, Networker and so on. Some of them offer a trial version for testing. If you want to test with a tape library, how can you test? For testing, the physical tape library is too expensive. How about a free virtual VTL? You can test these solutions in VMware Workstation.

mhVTL is a free virtual VTL software created by Mark Harvey. I guess he is a Symantec engineer. His website is https://sites.google.com/site/linuxvtl2.
