It's better to make a new master, even if your new datacenter is across the
street :-)  Especially when your WAN link is relatively new and subject to
outages.

The client must always communicate with the master for backups or restores
to happen so if you lost your WAN link, you would not be able to backup or
restore.

Hello,

I have a netbackup server & media server in an issolated network.  There is
a need for an addition (and temporary) media server in another location
while we move data centers.  The two locations will have primary WAN
connectivity, but the dedicated backup network will not be connected (it
will be duplicated during the move).

Is it a better route to add a media server, or should I create another
master server?  If a particular media server is used by a client, does that
client still need to talk with the master server?

thank you
Guy
