Netbackup Virtual Media Server with Virtual Snapshots

[swhite56]

Hi,

Are there any limitations with virtual snapshots when using a Virtual Media Server as opposed to a Physical Media Server?

Snapshots is a function of the Backup Host.

If you will be using the virtual media media server as backup host, you need to decide on Transport Mode.
