I think she meant the Windows 2003 physical machine is configured as a
SAN media server, which backs up the virtual instances running on
it......not that the virtual instance is a media server.
=20
So she has a Win 2003 media server, and several VMWare instance
"clients".

        Hi
        =20
        I'm surprised that your SE suggested SAN Media Servers -
according to the compatibility matrix:=20

        "VMware support is limited to supported NetBackup OS
clients-only; NetBackup Servers are not supported."

        =20
        Regards
