Hello,

I would like to setup a dedicated backup network for backup purpose.

Is there any pointers or best practice regarding this kind of setup?

There are some methods that I had thought about:

1) Setup up VLAN to separate the management network and backup network

2) Using router to route backup traffic from management network to backup network

I think different OS may have different behavior, they may/may not accept traffic send to another NIC

3. When adding client by using the wizard, I have input the hostn ame of the backup interface of the client.
For example: client1-backup.example.org

The FQDN of the client is client1.example.org.

The backup could not start with below error message:

98519:save: Unable to setup direct save with server networker.example.org: Client 'client1.example.org' is not properly configured on the NetWorker Server..

90018:save: Cannot open a save session with NetWorker server 'networker.example.org': Client 'client1.example.org' is not properly configured on the NetWorker Server.

After I added the short hostname and FQDN to the alias setting of the client in the NetWorker management console, the backup can proceed. But I am not sure if this is the correct way or setting.

Thanks in advance.
