Configuring a Remote DS-VDR server
You can configure the DS-System to use multiple Remote DS-VDR services. However, you must have at least one Remote DS-VDR service running and accessible from the DS-System via port 4406. If you are using a firewall, port 4406 must be configured to allow TCP/IP connections on both the DS-System and the Remote DS-VDR service.
NOTE: Microsoft Hyper-V Server backups require a Remote DS-VDR service running on Windows.
To configure a Remote DS-VDR server:
1. On the DS-VDR menu, click Remote DS-VDR Servers.
2. In the Remote DS-VDR Servers dialog box, do one of the following:
• To add a Remote DS-VDR server, click Add.
• To modify a Remote DS-VDR server, select the server, and then click Modify.
NOTE: To delete a Remote DS-VDR server, select the server, and then click Remove.
3. In the Add / Modify DS-VDR Server Info dialog box, do the following:
a) In the Name box, type a name for the Remote DS-VDR server.
b) In the Address box, type the IP address of the Remote DS-VDR server.
c) In the Port box, enter the port number the Remote DS-VDR service uses to communicate with the DS-System.
NOTE: Do not change the port number unless you have a specific requirement to do so.
d) In the Description box, type a description for the Remote DS-VDR server.
e) In the Type box, select whether the Remote DS-VDR server will be running on a Windows or Linux computer.
f) Click OK.
4. Click OK.
