In a nutshell the voldb tracks the physical tapes; where they
are in the library, associated barcode, media type, etc. The mediadb records which
tape is used for what backup, where on the tape it is, etc.

Hey guys
I am new to Netbackup 5.1 and have read through the SysAdmin guides and still a
little confused about the voldb and the mediadb. Can someone break down the
differences between these two catalogs and the types of infomration each one of
them holds. In addition, please send me any detailed information on catalogs in
general for Netbackup, thanks.
Robert
