I thought 6.0 could do that, since the media servers don't hold any media info. or is the new part the "hand off of a mounted tape to another media server" which is a logical extension of the 6.0 functionality? Paul --

Good catch! Media Sharing The media sharing feature allows multiple NetBackup media servers to actively share a given tape media for write purposes. Media sharing reduces tape media-related expenses by enabling increased media utilization which in turn reduces amounts of partially full media and total number of tape media required to store a given amount of backup data. Media sharing reduces the vaulting related expenses because fewer pieces of media will need to be vaulted and fewer pieces of empty media will need to be placed into the scratch pool. Media sharing also provides the ability to "hand off" a mounted tape to another media server, eliminating mount time for backup to different media servers. _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Stump Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2007 1:29 PM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Sneak Peek NetBackup 6.5 BETA version of the Symantec Veritas NetBackup (tm) Release Notes for UNIX, Windows, and Linux (last updated 2/16/2007) http://support.veritas.com/docs/287075 ==================================================================================== La version française suit le texte anglais. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This email may contain privileged and/or confidential information, and the Bank of Canada does not waive any related rights.
