The upgrade went pretty smoothly on both machines, but then I noticed overnight my home lab server reported backup errors for both systems.<\/p>\n<p>When I checked the next day I noticed that NetWorker actually\u00a0wasn&#8217;t installed any more on either\u00a0system. It seemed odd for NetWorker to be removed as part of the install, but hardly an issue. I found an installer, fired it up and to my surprise found\u00a0the operating system warning me the installer might cause\u00a0system problems if I continued.<\/p>\n<p>Doing what I\u00a0should have done from the start, I set up\u00a0an OS X virtual machine to test the installation\u00a0on, and it seemed to go through smoothly\u00a0<em>until<\/em> the very end when it reported a failure and backed out of the process. That was when I started digging into <a href=\"http:\/\/arstechnica.com\/apple\/2015\/09\/os-x-10-11-el-capitan-the-ars-technica-review\/8\/\" target=\"_blank\">some\u00a0of the changes in\u00a0El Capitan<\/a>.\u00a0Apple, it turns out, is increasing system security by locking down third party access to \/bin, \/sbin, \/usr\/bin and \/usr\/sbin. As NetWorker&#8217;s binaries on Unix systems install into \/usr\/bin and \/usr\/sbin, this\u00a0meant NetWorker was no longer allowed to be installed on the system.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/2015\/12\/20\/networker-scales-el-capitan\/el-capitan\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5760\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5760\" src=\"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/el-capitan-1024x442.png\" alt=\"El Capitan\" width=\"695\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/el-capitan-1024x442.png 1024w, https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/el-capitan-300x130.png 300w, https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/el-capitan-768x332.png 768w, https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/el-capitan-900x389.png 900w, https:\/\/nsrd.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/el-capitan.png 1033w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fast forward a bit, and as of NetWorker 8.2 SP2 Cumulative Release 2 (aka 8.2.2.2), was released a week or so ago including a relocated NetWorker installer for Mac OS X \u2013 now the binaries are\u00a0located in \/usr\/local\/bin and \/usr\/local\/sbin instead.
