What the icon in View by Resource means

[S_T_2]

I'm trying to figure out what the server icon w/a small windows attached to it means when looking at all the computers listed in the View by Resources in BE for WIndows Servers.

I have 2 servers that have this special icon display and i have no idea why/what for.

Thanks!

Hi,

If it's a cluster, that's the virtual server. The 2 nodes would look like the other icons.
You can back up off this virtual server by itself instead of both nodes.

Laters!

HI CraigV.

i'm pretty sure its not a cluster.  They are actual single servers. not virtuals.  where can i check to see if it is a cluster?
Thanks.

It is not an icon for cluster. This icon is shown for servers, which have remote agent utility configured to publish to this media server. In order to check, publishing, go to remote agent utility on the target server and go to publishing tab and check if publishing for media server is enabled. Publishing is a feature by which it becomes easier for media server to detect the target servers in backup. These servers should also be visible under favourite resources, in selection list.

Please mark it a solution, if this is useful.
Thanks
