How exactly are you getting this to work? What is the client name you are
using in netbackup an what is the client's actual name? Also, what does your
selection list look like. I can test more on Monday, my I'm thinking that
server1.company.com and server1.backup.company.com are both fine because the
hostname server1 remains constant. I don't however think you can use
server2.anything to backup that same machine. If so, I'd love to hear how you
did it / what your configuration is.

I will confirm that you CAN use an alias. We have a separate backup
interface on our Exchange servers and we're backing them up just fine
using that interface. Different interface and different DNS entry to
point to it.

This is false.
Almost everything in our environment is backed up via DNS entries
pointing to interface on a dedicated backup network. The only
exceptions are very small, very old systems that don't have an extra nic
available and no room to put one.
