Yes  - Just install the nw client software on the vcb server a storage
node only, then be sure it lists/shows as one in networker. if the
server is not local to NW or has tape/vtl, I don't think changing any of
those will affect anything, but I would just leave it all alone on the
networker side in that respect if that is the case... I never had to do
anything in NW other than be sure it shows up as a sn, and then just
setup/import the vcb as a client and change the save command to
save_vcb.bat.
