I want to make sure I understand what a Storage Node does

I have 3 remote locations connected to corporate that I would like

to backup with Networker. My Networker server is at the corporate
location. If I understand this correctly I can place a tape drive
attached to a server at each location and configure a storage node
on my Networker server for these locations. The Networker server
controls the backups at the remote sites, backing data to the tapes
at those sites and sending index information back to the main server
at corporate. Is this correct?

Yes,  that is a valid way of using storage nodes with NetWorker.

What happens when the Networker server at the corporate headquarters is unavailable? WAN link goes down, or something. Does the storage node still

commence with the scheduled backup?

A storage node would become inactive in that situation.
