There used to be a very nice functional overview in Appendix A of the
Troubleshooting Guide...but the docs have been reorganized since then.

But it should be there...

Kate is right - only meta data it sent back to the master server, the
functional overview shows you other process interaction between master
and media which is very helpful.

No, only META DATA will go to the Master server. Are you using the
MUST_USE_LOCAL_DRIVE directive in bp.conf or setting the policy to only
use the STU for the specific media server?

Hi -- a question on data 'routing' in NetBackup:

If a machine is a N/B media server and is backing itself up, does the
data 'short-circuit' straight from disks -> tape/whatever or does it
pass across to the master server and then back?

Thanks

Richard.
