I want to make sure I understand what a Storage Node does

I have 3 remote locations connected to corporate that I would like to backup 
with Networker. My Networker server is at the corporate location. If I 
understand this correctly I can place a tape drive attached to a server at each 
location and configure a storage node on my Networker server for these 
locations. The Networker server controls the backups at the remote sites, 
backing data to the tapes at those sites and sending index information back to 
the main server at corporate. Is this correct?

Yes,  that is a valid way of using storage nodes with NetWorker.
