The backup host is a NetBackup client that performs backups on behalf of the virtual machines. (This host was formerly known as the VMware backup proxy server.) The backup host is the only host on which NetBackup client software is installed. As an option, the backup host can also be configured as a NetBackup primary server or media server.

The backup host is referred to as the recovery host when it performs a restore

You can add servers to and remove servers from the access hosts list:

Add

Click Add and enter the fully qualified domain name of the backup host.

Remove

Select the backup host in the list and click Remove.
