Publishing the remote Windows computer to
media servers
Use the Remote Agent
Utility to add, change, or delete the media server names or IP
addresses that this remote computer publishes to. Each media server
that you add to the list on the Publishing tab displays this remote
computer in its backup selection tree, under Favorite
Resources.
This information that the
Remote Agent publishes includes the version of the Remote Agent and
the remote computer's IP addresses. Because the remote computer's
IP address is published to the media server, the media server can
connect to and display the remote computer even if it is in an
unknown domain.
For each media server
that is published to, you can specify a local backup network for
operations between the media 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 media server and the remote computer.
See Specifying backup
networks.
