I use IP and its never failed yet! Even restores are fine! Not saying it's the right way, but in our case, it does indeed work.

[recommendations please] The bottom line is NetBackup REQUIRES 100% accurate, reliable, and unambiguous name resolution. Some considerations: - shorter names are generally easier to read and say. - FDQNs are more likely to be unambiguous, especially in large, mixed environments. - DNS makes sharing hostname information easy - external dependencies (like DNS) can increase the risk of failure. - In smaller environments, it's easy to work with local files.
