[Veritas-bu] Linux Media Server + Win2K3 Master

Our NDMP is not a NAS, but a mail appliance.  We're using a media server 
because of network config.

The oddity this weekend was that we received the fastest backup ever, but I 
can't solidly determine from where.  The NDMP appliance said only the test 
media server (Linux) was able to back it up.  NBU said that the production 
Media Server (Windows) did the deed.  Logs are not conclusive either.

I'm also still dealing with the message "Tape Media server is not active" with 
tape zoned and visible. Ideas?
