Looking through the requirements, it seems that a "Server" OS is required for the Media Server. Is this right?
I'm looking to backup maybe 7 or 8 servers. And it would be silly to do this concurrently. And even if I did, XP is licensed to handle 10 concurrent network connections to it (I'm not sure if this limitation is a factor in why Symantec is limiting compatibilityto the Server OSes).
Is it possible to save a little on cost and use XP Pro (instead of say Win Server 2003) as the base OS for the Backup Exec Media server?

Interesting. Thanks.
I had looked here and XP wasn't listed:

Are there any caveats that I should know about running the Media Server on XP?
