Thanks for those links Amol - pity none of them were ever marked as Solution...

I have this doc to add:

This 2-year-old White Paper contains good suggestions for Master server sizing/specs. IMHO it should still be valid: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/articles/whitepaper-netbackup-architecture-overview

This is a very good TN for starting the design.
