Test Connectivity To Backup Server

What is Test Connectivity?

Test Connectivity feature will allow client machine to verify the connectivity with the backup servers along with other requirements for a successful backup

How to get to Test Connectivity page?

Procedure:

You will have two options to choose the servers:

You can select a backup server in the drop-down box from the list of servers pre-configured

Or provide a host-name or IP address of the backup server from the Let me enter hostname or IP option

Once you're done selecting the server detail, select Test connection option. The result will have the following details checked:

DNS Lookup- Checks if the client details are already present in the backup server
Connectivity- Checks the connectivity status of client with the backup server
Compatibility- Checks the version compatibility of both machines(client and server)

Note: Backup server version should be equivalent to or higher than that of the client for successful backup

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 for successful connection:

Result is:

DNS Lookup- Hostname/IP “(backup server IP)” was successfully resolved
Connectivity- Connected successfully to the server “(backup server IP)” on port ‘32004’
Compatibility- The Vembu NetworkBackup edition and version running on the client “(client-name)” is compatible with that of the server “(backup server IP)”
Backup Server- The server “(backup server IP)” is a backup server

Example for failed connectivity:

Result is:

DNS Lookup- The Client is not available in the server
Connectivity- Was able to connect to the server on port '32004' but the server is not responding to the requests. Make sure you are running Vembu NetworkBackup on that port in the server. Also, make sure the version of Vembu NetworkBackup is '3.1.0' or higher
