you might need to specify the local computer then username like this:<br />
<br />
computername\admin<br />
password<br />
<br />
or <br />
<br />
ip address \admin<br />
password

Kutyi is right, you can run backup exec and see all computers in your domain but are required to have a remote agent if you want to back it up (the remote agent will need to be purchased)

I trying to setup a backup job for a standalone computer. The symantec backup exec is running from a member server, I find the stand alone computer in &quot;Windows Computers&quot;. While creating the backup job, I provided the account this job run under (Standalone Local Adminstrator - machine name\user Id). It fail to authenticate, I am sure that the user id and password provided is correct and the user id is local admin on that stand alone box<br />
Any thoughts on this failure..<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

How can I use Backup exec to back up from stand alone computer

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
