There is no such thing as a Master Server License, never has been to my knowledge(after 3.11). There are only Mediaservers. Any Enterprise Media server can be a master. Mediaservers are tiered by OS (windows, linux, Unix) and Manufacture Model #. Symantec determines which tier a Model is in. San Mediaservers cannot be Masters. I don't think the San Media server license exists in 6.5. A San Master Server licensed existed at one time(which was the same price as a Enterprise Mediaserver.) jim

I don't see how a Master / Media is any cheaper than a Master / Master unless you've got a software add-on that licenses per Master. I agree with Justin on this one. Unless your WAN is 100% stable (like fiber to a DR site down the road) I suggest Master / Master so jobs run instead of fail when one server or the other or the WAN goes down. Even with separate masters you can still do restores from one to the other by copying catalog entries. Of course a fancy schmancy geocluster would work as well (and get you some uber kudos on this forum. =) -Jonathan _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2008 4:55 PM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Best setup for NetBackup in 2 sites across the WANlink Based on what you describe, it seems you only want to backup servers in a remote site but are not looking for a "DR" solution. It would be far cheaper to have a single master server and a media server in the remote site. This obviously keeps the license costs down and centralizes the management.

I will have a tape library on each site. - Should I purchase 2 NetBackup servers and manage them separately? - Is it better (or cheaper) to purchase NetBackup server for a primary site and media manager for the remote site?
