Hi Howard,
I'm sure you must have found solution by now.
Still wanted to tell you that what you are trying to achive is possible as long as \
you are using VADP (vStorage API for Data Protection) not VCB. The reason is VCB \
server needs the staging loction but VMware Backup Host does not.
Only thing you need to keep in mind is the LUNS of the specific ESX Datastore/Cluster \
needs to be presented to the VMware Backup host at the time of backup in order to \
run backup on SAN else you can always go for NBD without problem. Let me know if my \
response was of any help to you. Best Regards.Anurag From: hgraylin@cspire.com

Subject: [Veritas-bu] VMware backup host
Does a media server that’s designated as a VMware off-host backup need to be attached \
to storage? The reason for asking is that my current server used for VMware backups \
is broken and I’ve been working with support to fix it for at least 2 weeks. I found \
another server and installed Windows 2008 R2 and Netbackups 7.1.0.4 on it. \
However…it doesn’t have any storage attached to it. If I set the policy to use this \
server as the off-host backup server but specify another datastore, will this work?
In essence what I’m trying to do is build a server to handle the Vmware backups, but \
using another media server to actually write the data. I’m going to look through the \
VMware admin guide, but also wanted to post the question to the group.
