Simon,

I don't think the term "media server" really exists any more, at least  
as far as licensing is concerned. I think you just need a "Netbackup  
Enterprise Server" license for whatever platform. I don't think  
there's any difference in cost/licensing between a master server and a  
media server.

What used to be called a "SAN Media Server" is now an "Enterprise  
Client". There's also "SAN Client", which is a client which pushes  
it's data to a media server over FC using the Fibre Transport.

What Justin says seems right.

Cheers,
Dean
