Looking for some guidance here:
A cusotmer of mine has had to restore data from old LTO3 tapes and had to rebuild a server in order to do so. They don’t have the license for the software we’re using which has now run out of the trial period.
They currently are using Backup Exec 2010 R2 Version 13.0 Rev. 4164 (64-bit).
It’s on an isolated server not hooked up to the network - what license(s) would be required?
Hmm I think the problem you're going to have is that you probably cannot get a 2010 license anymore. You could download the latest version of BE and get a 60 trial from that.
The license you need also depends on what you're restoring, such as MS Application (SQL, Exchange, Sharepoint) or virtual (Hyper-v and VMware)
They are only restoring mailfiles (lotus notes) and data (dfs).
Purchasing a Backup Exec 2010 license may indeed be an issue since it is quite a few versions back. Another possible alternative could be to bring up a brand new system (newly installed OS) and install Backup Exec on it. You should get another 60 day evaluation time period which should allow your customer to get their restore done.
