We have only used short names for all our backups. Geoff's comments are
right on.. Our DNS works fine. The main thing is to be
sure that forward and reverse look-ups work. Netbackup is very fussy
about that.

Re: [Veritas-bu] question on client names
The need to use FQDNs is, imho, a sign that you don?t trust your DNS.
FQDNs are a PITA if you ask me and I would rather take the time to make
something as mission critical as DNS work right instead of hiding the real
problem. To each his own, I?ve been on contracts before where the problem
was systemic and that was the only way to get backups working without
significant changes in procedures across the company but if your admins
and network guys are doing their job you shouldn?t have to.
I guess my comment is just that ?you shouldn?t have to use FQDN?s? and if
you don?t have to I wouldn?t. To each his own.

Always, always use FQDNs. Short names are simply evil.
