I use IP and its never failed yet! Even restores are fine!
Not saying it's the right way, but in our case, it does indeed work.

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] FQDNs or Not ? [recommendations please]


The bottom line is NetBackup REQUIRES 100% accurate, reliable, and
unambiguous name resolution.

Some considerations:

- shorter names are generally easier to read and say.
- FDQNs are more likely to be unambiguous, especially in large, mixed
environments.
- DNS makes sharing hostname information easy
- external dependencies (like DNS) can increase the risk of failure.
- In smaller environments, it's easy to work with local files.
