We have public and backup networks.  All clients have a public network
which is typically 100Mb and some clients (larger clients) have a backup
network which is typically GbE.  This seems to be pretty typical in
larger organizations.  

Given the above scenarios, my question is... in Netbackup what do you
name your clients with backup nic's?  

Option #1: Add a dns entry of the client name with a "-backup" suffix
and assign it's backup ip.  Do the same with the Master/Media server and
add their -backup hostnames as additional servers from within the
netbackup client software

Option #2: Instead of using dns, simply add the -backup hostname client
alias to the local hosts file on the Netbackup Master/Media servers and
assign the backup ip.  Do the same with the Master/Media server and add
their -backup hostnames as additional servers from within the netbackup
client software

Option #3: Simply override the actual client's hostname IP with it's
backup ip by adding it to the local hosts file on the Netbackup
Master/Media server.  Do the same with the Master/Media server in the
client's hosts file and leave the non -backup hostnames as servers in
the netbackup client software.  This alternate method would overwrite
the DNS record of the actual client and Master/Media hostnames with the
hosts backup IP.  

Also, is it best practice to use FQDN's, or no?

Thanks
