Cannot connect to a remote agent
Running version 2010R3. Remote backup agent installed on multiple other servers.
Backup failed w/ error, "Remote Agent not detected on <<server>>"
this was a regularly scheduled backup that was successful many times in the past.
Selection list contains files on two servers w/ same logon credentials. One server's selections backed up fine, the other got the above error.
logon credentials is for a domain admin that has no problem accessing servers in windows explorer.
I updated the remote agents on both other servers, rebooted all three machines, but error persists.
under edit selection list, tested Resource Credentials -- one server fine, other failed, "a communications failure has occurred"
Add the FQDN name in the host file, if not present
