Here is part of documentation:
About SAN Client tape storage destinations
SAN Client can use tape as a destination storage unit. Some tape drives are fast
enough to read and write the large volume of data that the NetBackup Fibre
Transport mechanism provides.
With tape as a destination you can use multistreaming, which divides automatic
backups for a client into multiple jobs. Because the jobs are in separate data
streams, they can occur concurrently. The data streams can be sent over one or
more FT pipes to the FT media server. The media server multiplexes them together
onto one or more tape media volumes. For example, if you have a database server
that provides multiple streams of data, you can multistream those database
backups to an FT media server. The FT media server multiplexes the data streams
onto the media, increasing overall performance.
You can replace NetBackup SAN Media servers with SAN clients and continue to
back up to tape. A SAN Client uses fewer system resources, both disk space and
processor, than a SAN Media server.
So could i install media server on client, and then make from it SAN Client and backup to tape ?
