Prevent backups from occurring on mobile broadband networks

Administrators can block clients from performing backups over certain types of networks. For example, you could block clients from performing backups on a mobile broadband network, such as point-to-point protocol (PPP), GPRS, 3G, WiMax, and so on. To block a network type, enter the appropriate ifType number that corresponds with the interface of the network you want to block. To enter more than one ifType number, separate each value by a comma, for example, 23,243,244.

Although numbers may be different in your environment, some common ifType numbers and network interfaces are:

Number	Name and Description
6	IF_TYPE_ETHERNET_CSMACD
15	IF_TYPE_FDDI
23	IF_TYPE_PPP
243	IF_TYPE_WWANPP (Mobile broadband devices based on GSM technology)
244	IF_TYPE_WWANPP2 (Mobile broadband devices based on CDMA technology )

For more information on ifTypes, see http://www.iana.org/assignments/ianaiftype-mib and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff565767(VS.85).aspx.
