Client unable to resolve DR network name or IPaddress
1. check DNS from client to DR using nslookup or host commands as below. If not resolved create DNS entries on DNS server.
Nslookup DR_Name
Nslookup <ipaddress of DR>
Host DR_Name
Host <ipaddress of DR>
2. check DNS from DR to client and update DNS server where required.
network --nslookup --destination <ip address | hostname>
3. if fixing DNS does not fix the backup problem, put entry for the DR in the Linux host file
