Configuring unrestricted media sharing

Unrestricted media sharing means that all NetBackup media servers and NDMP hosts in your NetBackup environment can share media for writing.

Note:

Do not use both unrestricted media sharing and media sharing server groups. If you use both, NetBackup behavior is undefined.

To configure unrestricted media sharing

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, in the left pane, expand NetBackup Management > Host Properties > Master Servers.
  2. In the right pane, double-click the master server.
  3. Select Media
  4. Select Enable Unrestricted Media Sharing for All Media Servers.

    If you allow unrestricted allow media sharing in your NetBackup environment, you do not need to create media sharing groups.

  5. Click OK.
