    Master Select this role to configure the appliance as a master server.
    Media Select this role to configure the appliance as a media server.

    You must also identify the master server that you plan to use with this appliance. The
    master server can be either a traditional NetBackup master server or a NetBackup

    following disk volumes:

    Know about duplication and replication?.

    Duplication is when you make copy of backup within the same environment - all under
    control of the same master server.
    Duplication can be tape-to-tape, disk-to-tape, appliance-to-tape, appliance-to-appliance,
    etc.

    Replication is same as duplication, but between media servers under control


    of different master servers.
    We only replicate between same type of dedupe devices/appliances.
