I think that you better to let your master server to control the =
robotics.

If you upgrade only your media server to 3.4 to be able to backup some =
Win2k
stations, your master server won't recognize the format of the streams =
that
will come from your win2k stations. So, you have to upgrade your master
server before your media!!!
