I have the opportunity to rearchitect are existing backup solution(using
existing equipment, of course) and I had a couple of questions. We have
about 6 or 7 separate network  LAN's that I am looking to connect together.
I am thinking of turning the current masters(3 of them) into media managers,
and then building a new master from an existing spare that we have. What I
am not sure of is, what in Netbackup would require a more powerful server,
the master or the media managers. I want to have just one master that works
with the 3 media managers to back up all the clients.

Secondly, is it difficult to configure one master to use 3 media managers?

Any insight from people who have done this before would be appreciated.
