Test connectivity to Backup Server

Test connectivity to Backup Server

This feature allows the client machine to verify connectivity with backup servers along with other requirements for a successful backup.

  • Click the Settings tab and select Test Connectivity to Backup Server

Procedure

Hit ‘Test connection’. The result will have the following details checked:

  • DNS Lookup- Checks if client details are already present in the backup server.
  • Connectivity- Checks connectivity status of client with the backup server.
  • Is the client available on server- Checks whether client name already exists in the server's client list and report the result.
  • Backup server- Checks the status of IP address/Hostname provided. (i.e) If it’s a backup server, DR server or another client machine.

Example of successful connection:

Result is:

  • DNS Lookup- Hostname/IP “Vembu Cloud” was successfully resolved
  • Connectivity- Connected successfully to the server “Vembu Cloud” on port ‘32004’
  • Is the client available in server- The client “(client-name)” is available in server
  • Activated- The client “(client-name)” is activated on the server “Vembu Cloud”

Example of failed connectivity:

Result is:

  • DNS Lookup- Hostname/IP 'Vembu Cloud' was successfully resolved.
  • Connectivity- The server is not listening on the port '32004'. Make sure the Server is running on the server and that you have specified the right port number. Also, make sure that your NAT/firewall at your server is configured to allow incoming TCP traffic on the port.
