When you are setting up a new backup job, you can change the backup network for that job. When you change the backup network for a job, you also can set that backup network as the new default backup network for all future backup jobs.
See About specifying backup networks.
You can choose to encrypt a backup job. If you use Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 or later, you can configure the job to run automatically when global threats arise.
