Symantec backup exec 2010 R2/R3 - How to restrict the backup job to run on specific media server

If you have more than one media server, then there is a chance that the central admin server may delegate the backup job to run on other Media servers.
So to restrict the backup job to a specific Media server, open the Symantec backup Exec console on the server where the backup selection list is located.
Go to job setup and select the backup selection list which you would like to restrict.
Right-click and go to properties
Click on Yes, on In Use warning Window.
In the left-hand side, select the ‘Device’ under Destination tab.
In the right-hand side, enable the checkbox “Restrict backup of the selection lists to devices on the following media server or media servers”.
In the scroll button, select the backup server on which you want to restrict the backup to run.
By doing the above said, the job runs only on media server specified.
