You can select default network and security options for all new backup jobs and templates you create. You can manually change these settings when you create specific jobs or templates.
See Setting default backup network and security options.

Item |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Enable selection of user shares |
Lets you include user-defined shares in jobs. If you do not select this option, you cannot select user-defined shares when you create jobs. |
|
Enable remote agent TCP dynamic port range |
Allows remote agents to use a range of ports for communications. You enter the port range. If the first port that Backup Exec attempts to use is not available, communications will be attempted through one of the other ports in the range. If none of the ports in the range are available, Backup Exec will use any available dynamic port. Default port ranges are 1025 to 65535. Symantec recommends using a range of 25 allocated ports for the remote systems if using Backup Exec with a firewall. |
|
Interface |
Indicates the name of the network interface card that connects the media server to the network you want to use for the backup network. The list includes all available network interface cards on the media server. |
|
Interface details |
Displays the Media Access Control (MAC) address, Adapter type, Description, IP addresses, and subnet prefixes of the network interface you selected for the backup network. |
|
Protocol |
Allows you to choose from the following protocol options:
|
|
Subnet |
Displays the 32-bit number that determines the subnet to which the network interface card belongs. |
|
Allow use of any available network interface, protocol, or subnet for remote agents not bound to the above network interface, protocol, or subnet |
Ensures that the data from the remote system is backed up or restored over any available network if the remote system that you selected for backup or restore is not part of the specified backup network. If you do not select this check box and you selected data from a remote system that is not part of the specified backup network, the job fails because Backup Exec cannot back up or restore the data from the remote system. |
|
Use a custom port to receive operation requests from the remote system |
Specifies the port used for communications between this computer and the remote computer for both DBA- and media server-initiated operations. By default, port 5633 is used. If you change the port number on the remote Windows or Linux computer, you must also change it on the media server, and then restart the Backup Exec Job Engine service on the media server. |
|
Use FIPS 140-2 compliant software encryption |
Enables software encryption that complies with FIPS 140-2 standards. If you select this option, you must use a 256-bit AES encryption key. This option is only available for Windows computers. You must stop and restart the Backup Exec services for this change to take effect. |
|
Encryption type |
Specifies the type of encryption you want to use, if any. See About encryption. |
|
Encryption key |
Specifies the default encryption key you want to use. |
|
Manage keys |
Allows you to create a new encryption key or delete an existing encryption key. |
|
Run backup immediately when an elevated Symantec ThreatCon level is reached |
Runs automatic backups when the Symantec ThreatCon reaches the level you specify in the Symantec ThreatCon level field. You must have Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 or later installed on the same computer as Backup Exec to use this feature. |
|
Symantec ThreatCon level |
Specifies the ThreatCon level at which you want automatic backups to run. You can find more information about Symantec ThreatCon levels at the following URL: |
