Can Vault option be used on server running as both Master/Media server?

Question

I've been administratering Netbackup for close to 6mths now and have been the sole person in charge of implenting NB6 (I'm still a newbie). We only have one server that's running as both Master and Media server. From what I've read the Vault option cannot be installed on a media server. Is this correct? If so, what's my best option for implenting the Vault feature (we've already purchase it)? I'm running Solaris 10 on a Sun v240 with one physical changer w/two tape drives and a REO 9000 with two VTL's. Any suggestions are appreciated. Am I going to have to set up a second server to serve as the media or master server? Thanks in advance.

vault is installed on the master server. When configuring,&nbsp;by default,&nbsp;the media server that did the original image will also do the duplication.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Thanks everyone! That's good news! I'm going to try and get Vault going this week then. Thanks again and please post if someone has any tips/tricks for installing/setting up Vault.

Vault is an awesome option to use for Duplications and offsite management (make sure you enable all the reports, btw).

Take a look at the Admin Guide for Vault (if you haven't already), lots of good stuff in there: http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/279298.htm
