    Andy,

    Yes this is possible. You can use any supported media server to backup any support clients.

    So if your clients Windows 2008 server is configured as a Media server then there is no problem with that set-up. We don't support OpenVMS as Media servers so it has to be done my another Media server with a different OS either Linux, Windows or Solaris.

    For example:

    Linux or Solaris Media server can backup Windows clients, Unix/Linux clients, OpenVMS clients

    Windows Media server can backups Windows clients, Unix/Linux clients, OpenVMS clients

My Netbackup OpenVMS knowledge is pretty aged by now. But at the time we used the OpenVMS client  Netbackup could backup and restore data to a OpenvVMS host.

If you are unsure then call the local Symantec office or dealer. They should happily provide you with a answer.
