When your BDRServer machine has multiple IP addresses, you may need to specify which one an agent should use for communication. Follow these steps to configure the preferred network option.

1. VMWare

1. Open the Backup Application

Launch the backup application on your machine.

2. Navigate to Backup Settings

1. In the main menu, go to **Backup**.
2. Select **Configure Backup Settings**.
   

3. Access Advanced Settings

Within the **Configure Backup Settings** menu, click on **Advanced Setting**.

4. Locate Backup Server DNS Name/IP Address

In the **Advanced Setting** section, find the option labeled **Backup Server DNS Name/IP Address**. This is where you specify which IP address the agent should use for communication.

5. Enter the Preferred IP Address

Enter the IP address you want the agent to use in the **Backup Server DNS Name/IP Address** field. Ensure this IP address corresponds to the correct network interface on your machine.

6. Update and Apply Settings
