From the "help" in the "Add server group..." etc

"The type of server group.

For a media sharing group, select Media Sharing. A media sharing group is a server group that shares media for write purposes. A media sharing group can contain the following:

NetBackup master server

NetBackup media servers

NDMP tape servers

Virtual host names of NetBackup media servers in a cluster

Other server group types (NOM and Alternate Restore) are reserved for future use."

 

[[  This was on NB6.5.6 so whether that "future use" is now here?!! wink ]]

[[ Docs for 7.1 say the same by the way.... ]]

Regards Andy
