Symantec Backup Exec

Server

Indicates the name of the media server. You can select the name from the list or type the name of the server if you are running the Remote Administrator from a media server.

Each server in the domain that has Backup Exec installed automatically appears in the list box.

Low speed connection (RAS)

Minimizes the amount of information initially retrieved from the media server to which you are connected. When this option is selected, views such as the device view and the media view do not expand automatically when the Administration Console is loaded. This option reduces the time that is required to connect to the remote media server. Information for each view is updated when the view is selected.

This option is useful if you connect to the media server over a modem line.

User name

Indicates an administrator user name for the server to which you want to connect.

You cannot log on to the remote administration console with a user name that has a blank password on Windows Server 2003/2008 and XP/Vista computers. You must configure Windows to allow blank passwords. Otherwise, the error message “Logon failure: user account restriction” appears. For more information, see your Windows documentation.

Password

Indicates the password for the user.

Domain

Indicates the domain to which the user belongs. You can select the domain from the list or type the domain name.

Services

Lets you access the Backup Exec Services Manager to stop and start services or to set the logon credentials that are used to run the services.
