If your MediaAgent computer is old or deprecated, you can move the MediaAgent to a new hardware. For more information, see MediaAgent Hardware Refresh.
Note
The MediaAgent used for a client's backup, including the DR backup for the CommServe server, must be on the same or higher release as the client.
Since MediaAgents cannot run on a higher release than the CommServe server, the MediaAgent used for the DR backup must be on the same release as the CommServe server.
You can also put the old MediaAgent into maintenance mode so that it does not run backup, restore, or auxiliary copy operations. For more information, see Putting a MediaAgent into Maintenance Mode.
