Configuring DNS
DNS is database system that translates a host name into an IP address using
TCP/IP. For example, abc.com is converted into an address such as
207.219.116.4. DNS is a static, hierarchical name service housed on a number
of servers on the Internet. It maintains this database for resolving host names
and IP addresses. This allows you to specify remote computers by host or user

and IPs .)

3. (Optional) Enter an IP address of a second backup server.
4. Click Save .
