VMware backups - next step after zoning datastore to backup host

I am working towards setting up my first VMware backup policies.  I understand the datastores from the Linux ESX server will also have to be presented to the Netbackup backup host.  In my case the backup host is also the media server (as recommended).  The media server is Windows 2008 R2.

I know we'll have to run  the diskpart automount disable and scrub commands before datastore is zoned to the media server (otherwise the data is at risk).

But are the other steps to be taken on the media server after that (mapping drives or whatever)?  Or will I be ready to start creating the backup policy after the datastores is zoned to the media server?
