Re: [Veritas-bu] question on client names

We have only used short names for all
our backups. Geoff's comments are right on.. Our DNS works
fine. The main thing is to be
sure that forward and reverse look-ups
work. Netbackup is very fussy about that.

The need to use FQDNs is, imho, a sign that
you don’t trust your DNS. FQDNs are a PITA if you ask me and I would
rather take the time to make something as mission critical as DNS work
right instead of hiding the real problem. To each his own, I’ve
been on contracts before where the problem was systemic and that was the
only way to get backups working without significant changes in procedures
across the company but if your admins and network guys are doing their
job you shouldn’t have to.
I guess my comment is just that ‘you shouldn’t
have to use FQDN’s’ and if you don’t have to I wouldn’t. To each
his own.

Always, always use FQDNs. Short
names are simply evil.
