Adding backup media servers to your cloud environment
You can add additional media servers to your cloud environment. Additional media servers can help improve backup performance. Such servers are known as data movers. The media servers that you add are assigned the credentials for the storage server. The credentials allow the data movers to communicate with the storage server.
A NetBackup media server must conform to the requirements for cloud storage.
