Question regarding Backup Exec Licensing
Hi all,
I need to clarify how many backup exec licenses needed with this configuration:
2 windows server 2012r2 (servers A and B):
1) Server A (windows sever with gui):
-Backup Exec Installed
-Hyper-V with several VM: no exchange, no sql, etc. one of the VM is an Active Directory DC
2) Server B (windows sever with gui):
-Hyper-V with several VM: no exchange, no sql, etc. one of the VM is another Active Directory DC
My backup needs are:
a) Backup of the VM (complete backup; don't need granular restore of sql, exchange, neither Active Directory, only granular restores for files and folders within the VM)
b) Backup of one of the disks of server B (i have a shared folder)
Shoul I buy 1 Backup Exec license and 1 Hyper-V agent?
or 1 Backup agent + 1 Hyper-V agent + 1 windows agent?
If I want Active Directory granular restore within one of the VM Domain Controllers I understand that I have to sum one license for application and database as well.
Thanks in advance,
Jaime
With BE 15, you can also opt for the Capacity Edition or the V-Ray Edition licensing models.
