Must Use Local Drive
This property appears for master servers only.
If the client is also a master server and the Must Use Local Drive check box is checked, backups must occur on a local drive. If the client is not a master server, this setting has no effect.
Note
Although this property appears as a setting for media servers as well, the media server must also be a master server in order for the property to take effect.
This setting increases performance because backups are done locally rather than possibly being sent across the network. For example, in a SAN environment you can create a storage unit for each SAN media server and then mix the media-server clients with other clients in a policy that uses ANY AVAILABLE storage unit. When a backup starts for a client that is a SAN media server, the backups go to the SAN connected drives on that server.
