Setting default options for the Remote Agent for NetWare Systems

By default, Backup Exec detects NetWare servers that are publishing using the TCP/IP protocol. If these protocols are made unavailable, the NetWare remote agents are not detected. And, the NetWare Agents node does not appear under Favorite Resources in the backup selections tree.

Note:

If a protocol is not installed on the system, it is not available in this dialog. For example, if the TCP/IP protocol is not installed on the media server, the TCP/IP protocol check box is grayed out and made unavailable.

You can also set network defaults for all backup and restore operations that are performed on the NetWare servers by Backup Exec. For example, you can specify a dynamic port range to be used by the remote agent. You can override some of these defaults each time you create a backup or restore job.

To specify TCP dynamic port ranges on the media server

  1. On the Tools menu, click Options.

  2. On the Properties pane, under Job Defaults, click Network and Security.

  3. Specify a TCP dynamic port range by clicking Enable remote agent TCP dynamic port range and enter the port ranges.

  4. Click OK.

  5. Restart Backup Exec.
