Hi Justin This Server is going to be part of the NetBackup environment. So I do not want this to be a master on its own, just a Media Server that has the ability to: 1) Attach to its own robotic drive 2) Backup itself and 2 other servers Simon -Original Message- From: Justin Piszcz

That means a standard media server license; if you have enterprise netbackup then you want enterprise media server. BUT if you are doing encryption already - and you want to encrypt your backup on the new server - ( which is the stuff they are asking you about) Then you should match what you are

I asked this question a while back and someone responded that it does work. You need to create a small lun and use NTFS mapping to map folders under that shard for the actual huge luns you want to back up. Unfortunately I haven't had time to test this. Might want to look in the archives.
