Hi 

 

Has anyone had much experience of using REQUIRED_NETWORK_INTEFACE on Windows
environment?

 

We have backup server with two NICs (Backup and Public LAN), backing up a
number of servers all with two NIC cards

 

In order to get the backup data to go down the backup LAN when using DNS not
host files the admin guide says put the backup NIC name
REQUIRED_NETWORK_INTEFACE for that client. What is the backup NIC name? is
it the name given to the connection in control pane\network connections or
is it the host name placed in a backup zone on the DNS 

 

Our Example, 

 

Server host name = tom with ip 10.0.0.1 (public)

Backup host name = tomb with ip 10.128.5.1(backup) 

 

On the DNS if we have a zone called backup and add all servers with
servernameb and then put servernameb into REQUIRED_NETWORK_INTEFACE will it
work or have I understood it incorrectly????

 

 

Kind Regards,

 

Imran Khan
