I read this question differently than others who responded. In case the question related to SSO, recent NetBackup versions (6.5 and higher IIRC) reduced the traffic among media servers sharing a drive, making it practical to have more media servers sharing more drives reliably. A dozen media servers sharing four LTO4s certainly works; I don't know what the practical maximum would be. Note: the more of your media servers that are Windows, the more problems you will have (RSM, HBA drivers, network comms for SSO, ...). _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
