Enable the Remote Agent to publish information to the media servers in the list

Indicates if the remote agent sends information about itself, such as its version and IP address, to all of the media servers in the list. The media servers display the remote agent in the backup selections tree, under Favorite Resources and under Domains.

By default, the name of the media server that push-installed this remote agent is displayed in this list. If the remote agent is also a media server, the name is displayed as 127.0.0.1.

To stop the information from being sent to all of the media servers, uncheck Enable the Remote Agent to publish information to the media servers in the list. The list of media servers is preserved, but the Remote Agent does not send any information about itself to the media servers.

Publishing interval

Displays an interval, in minutes, for the Remote Agent to send information about its status to the media servers in the list. The default interval is 240 minutes. This is the recommended setting to appropriately balance system responsiveness with network traffic. The maximum interval allowed is 720 minutes.
