About This Task
Remote Browse
In the Browse and Restore dialog box, Advanced Options tab, the client computer is selected in the Use proxy box, by default. However, if a different MediaAgent that is not compatible with the operating system is chosen, then the browse operation might fail.
For example, if the Windows client computer is backed up to a Linux MediaAgent and the Windows client computer is chosen as proxy MediaAgent, then you can browse the files.
