i have several media servers and a master. this parameter just assures

the master of course.

We recommend in writing in the Administrators guide to use CBN, and even
warn that errors may occur if not used.

but when i restore the catalog - and a backup tries to run - you got 
conflict which i want to avoid.

The client daemon/service is all that is required for bprecover command
