Backup Exec Agent Utility Help

About publishing the Agent for Windows to Backup Exec servers

Use the Backup Exec Agent Utility to add, change, or delete the Backup Exec server names or IP addresses that this remote Windows computer publishes to. Each Backup Exec server that you add to the list on the Publishing tab displays the remote computer in the list of servers on the Backup and Restore tab. After the remote computer is added to the list of servers, you can right-click the remote computer and click Establish Trust to verify that the remote computer is a trusted resource.

This information that the Agent for Windows publishes includes the version of the Agent for Windows and the remote computer's IP addresses. Because the remote computer's IP address is published to the Backup Exec server, the Backup Exec server can connect to and display the remote computer even if it is in an unknown domain.

For each Backup Exec server that is published to, you can specify a local backup network for operations between the Backup Exec server and the remote computer. Directing jobs to a specified local network rather than to a corporate network isolates the backup data traffic so that other connected networks are not affected when operations are performed between the Backup Exec server and the remote computer.
