See this planning guide, and add a bit more RAM for modern OS and and latest versions of NetBackup, eveything else pretty much still stands:

Review the guide&nbsp;sdo&nbsp;linked above - you really need to calculate how much data you plan to send through and how many destinations. Also - pay attention to how data flows - hba and network interfaces have a major impact as well.
Remember - you can have GOOD, FAST or CHEAP - pick TWO!
