Scott,
That's a perfect explanation. Usually Netbackup master server is a
volume database host, but there are can be exceptions and in my second
email I have corrected myself.
Thank you,
Alex

It is NOT just used for database backups. Also, the None pool is

Try choosing this in your policy. It doesn't show up as an option,
at least it doesn't in the 4.5 environments I'm looking at now... and I
don't remember seeing it show up as an option for a Class in 3.4 or 3.2
