Of your restores from the old server are far and few between, you could
use a standalone tape drives on thee master (not additional license
required for standalone drives), that is what I did till all my old
images expired.

this is a brand new install. the old environment is so old that it was
too expensive to upgrade it or buy something to hold both types of
tapes. the ADIC is using DLT 8000 drives and we have the 40/80 GB tapes.
the SDLT drives that can read them can only be bought from junk dealers.

since this is my first time setting up netbackup, it's a learning curve.
and there is so much documentation it's too much to take in at once.
when it discovered the robot, drives and tapes it automatically labeled
them as dlt.

next week i'll probably change it to hcart. for now we'll probably use
the old robot and server for old restores. but it has been flaky in the
past and in case it dies for good we'll need to buy an old SDLT
autoloader.
