What this means?

Server means the client which we are backing up?

No, as mentioned, if they expire off disk, the actual fragments are deleted,

You can import a tape if it has been expired BUT only if if has not been reused.  Images on tape are only 'lost' wen the tape is re-used, but with disk, the images are deleted when they expire,

The only time you would import a disk, or example, is ifyou moved a disk containing valid images to a new server, or rebuild an exsisting server and imported the images, as opposed to recoveing the catalog.

It means that the Disk contaiing the images must be attached, and configured on one of the media servers in the environment where you want to import the images.  The media server can be the master, or it can be a seperate server,

Please explain from step 1 what you were trying to do up to the point where you got the error.

I am wondering if this is related to your post the other day where you asked if expired disk images can be imported: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/import

We explained to you that expired images gets deleted when Image Cleanup job runs.

Are you now trying to import expired images?

The error suggests that you are looking for something on the Server (the Media Server name that you specified in Initialize Import screen ) that does not exist.

So, to answer this question:

"What this means?

Server means the client which we are backing up?"

Server means the Media Server name that you specified in Initialize Import screen.
