About using IPv4 and IPv6 in Backup Exec

Backup Exec supports versions 4 and 6 of the Internet Protocol (IP), which are commonly referred to as IPv4 and IPv6. You can use IPv4 and IPv6 in backup and restore networks. Support for IPv6 is dependent upon operating system support for the protocol, as well as proper network configuration.

You can use Backup Exec in a mixed IPv4/IPv6 environment or an IPv4-only environment.

Enter an IPv4 or IPv6 address for a computer anywhere that you can enter a computer name in Backup Exec, except in the following locations:

  • Clusters. Microsoft Windows does not support an IPv6 address as a clustered computer.

  • The Connect to Backup Exec Server dialog box.

A Backup Exec agent that supports IPv6 can be backed up or restored using IPv6 only from a Backup Exec server that is IPv6-compliant.
