Client/Server Communication Configuration

Communication between the Backup server and its clients is described by configuration values you enter in the Server resource and Clients resource. Backup relies on full and accurate configuration of the network to implement features that protect data and ensure security.

Each client resource should include both the DNS (domain name service) short name and long name in the Aliases attribute of the Clients resource in the Backup administration program.

For more details about how to set up Backup clients in the Clients resource, see "New Backup Client Configuration ".

To diagnose problems with network communications that affect Backup, use the instructions in "Client-Server Communications ".
