hi reffer below docs for fail-over 

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?pag...

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?pag...

and media server concept just start reading admin guide..

 

<<<copied from admin guide>>>

 

■ Media servers provide additional storage by allowing NetBackup to use the
storage devices that are attached to them. Media servers can also increase
performance by distributing the network load. Media servers can also be
referred to by using the following terms:
■ Device hosts (when tape devices are present)
■ Storage servers (when I/O is directly to disk)
■ Data movers (when data is sent to independent, external disk devices like
OpenStorage appliances)
During a backup or archive, the client sends backup data across the network to a
NetBackup server. The NetBackup server manages the type of storage that is
specified in the backup policy.
During a restore, users can browse, then select the files and directories to recover.
NetBackup finds the selected files and directories and restores them to the disk
on the client.
hope this helps.

High Availabilty for media servers is explained in NBU in Highly Available Environments Admin Guide http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC3678

To create failover media servers as far as backups are concerned, the easiest way is to create Storage Unit Groups. See above manual and Admin Guide I for more info.
