About server groups

A server group is a group of NetBackup servers that are used for a common purpose.

A media sharing group is a server group that shares media for write purposes (backups).

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

Servers can be in more than one group. All members of a server group must have the same NetBackup master server. Only NetBackup 6.5 and later systems can be in server groups.
