Yes, there are docs out there on how to retire a media server. The big part you missed is that when a media server does a backup it owns the media. So any restores are done by that media server. You either have to change ownership of the tapes, or set up in your bp.conf to have another media server do any requests for the old one. (but with the new page for looking up docs I cannot find it)

We are running mostly unix / Linux backups and a couple windows b/u’s thrown in for good measure. We were running with a master and a media server and have retired the media server. I have changed all the policies to use the master as the media server and am having no problems with backups. The problem is when I try to restore something that was backed up when we had the separate media server. For the Source Client in the restore gui, if I don’t point to the old media server, I don’t see the files that I need to restore. If I point to the old media server, I see everything I need but because the machine is down, the restore times out. Did I miss something in the process of retiring the media server that is causing this? Anyone have any ideas / suggestions? Thanks in advance….
