Backup host pool is a group of NetBackup backup hosts where the snapshot of the volume is stagged for backup process to read. These hosts can be NetBackup client, media, or primary server. Although NetBackup client is not listed in the available backup hosts but it can be added explicitly to the list.

Ensure that all hosts in a backup host pool must have same the OS, OS path level, and default NFS version configuration.
