Was the Messenger service recently disabled on them? And/or do those servers go through a content switch or use Netintegrity's Siteminder agent? Any of these scenarios, depending upon configuration, may cause the servers to only respond to their FQDN depending upon how the clients are trying to connect.

Is just odd that one day, it can't find the host name and is looking for it by the FQDN. I could just recreate the Legato groups but the concern is if and when I need to do a restore back in time. Will there be problems? Thanks for your help.

Are the clients registered for doing restores? If they are can you add the fully qualified domain name? Just some thoughts as not a great expert with Legato.
