Administering the Backup Server › Discovery Configuration › How the Discovery Service Works › Discovery Configuration Dialog

Discovery Configuration Dialog

You can use the Discovery Configuration dialog to perform the following tasks:

• Specify the transport protocol used to broadcast queries.
• Enable Discovery of Arcserve Backup Products allows the Discovery Service (DS) to broadcast queries repeatedly, with a specified interval.

  It is not recommended that this be run at all times because it continually broadcasts queries which could increase network traffic.

• Enable Network Discovery allows the DS to run a process of discovering new Windows domains and IP Subnets.

  By default, the DS runs this process only when the Discovery Service is restarted. You can also modify the interval, depending on how dynamic your network environment is.
