About NetBackup server groups

A server group is a group of NetBackup servers that are used for a common purpose. A NetBackup Media Sharing group is a server group that shares tape media for write purposes (backups).

A Media Sharing group can contain the following:

  • NetBackup master server

  • NetBackup media servers

  • NDMP tape servers

Servers can be in more than one group. All members of a Media Sharing server group must have the same NetBackup master server.

See About media sharing.

See Configuring media sharing with a server group.
