I think your question should rather be –
“At what point do you decide you need another master?”
Your original question might not gain you
the answer you want because most environments only have one master (except for
special needs i.e. needing an old 5.1 master to backup clients that can’t
be migrated from 4.5). Some very large environments have multiple masters but
I doubt number of clients all by itself is the deciding factor.
Also number all by itself doesn’t
really tell you anything. If I have to backup 30 x 4 TB Oracle Instances the
number of jobs might be fairly low but the time/throughput is apt to be very
high and might be a consideration whether I’d want other servers
especially if it is unrelated data. On the flip side doing 2000 servers with
16 GB of OS backups might imply other considerations. Are your systems to be
backed up geographically dispersed? What other technology is in place (i.e.
BCV/SRDF, snapshots etc…)

We run about 1000 per day, and we are not particularly big.

I'd like to get some info to ponder it afterwards.
I'd wish to know what is a let's say "normal" number of jobs per day
for an average master server in your environment regardless of NetBackup
version you run?
