Enabling managed media servers to use any available network interface card

By default, jobs that are delegated or copied to a managed media server from the central administration server use the network and security settings that are set on the managed media server.

However, you can select an option on the central administration server to let a job use any network interface to access remote agents if the selected network interface is unavailable. Enabling this option for a backup job lets the managed media server use an alternative network interface to run important backup jobs that would otherwise fail to run.

To enable managed media servers to use any available network interface card

  1. On the central administration server’s navigation bar, click the arrow next to Backup.

  2. Click New Backup Job.

  3. In the task pane, under Settings, click Network and Security.

  4. Check Allow managed media server to use any network interface to access remote agents.

  5. Click OK.
