Backup Exec Agent Utility Help

Enable the Agent for Windows to publish information to the Backup Exec servers in the list

Indicates if the Agent for Windows sends information about itself, such as its version and IP address, to all of the Backup Exec servers in the list. The Backup Exec servers display the Agent for Windows in the list of servers.

By default, the name of the Backup Exec server that push-installed this Agent for Windows is displayed in this list. If the Agent for Windows is also a Backup Exec server, the name is displayed as 127.0.0.1.

To stop the information from being sent to all of the Backup Exec servers, uncheck Enable the Agent for Windows to publish information to the Backup Exec servers in the list. The list of Backup Exec servers is preserved, but the Agent for Windows does not send any information about itself to the Backup Exec servers.

Publishing interval
