Remote agents and V-Ray edition

so may I know is the remote agent comes with my purchased SYMC BKUP EXEC with V-RAY edition.

  • When a VM host is licenced for the BE hypervisor agent licence, you are entitled to load AWS/RALUS on any number of VM's hosted on the licenced host.  Since the V-Ray edition gives you the hypervisor agent licence for all your hosts, you can load remote agents on all your VM's without further licences.

  • Refer to the below blog on "What's included in the Backup Exec V-Ray Edition?"

  • Hi Prawns,

    pkh and AmoIB is correct. to further elaborate what they answered:

    BE2014 V-Ray Edition included below licenses:

    • BE2014 Server
    • BE2014 Library expansion Option
    • BE2014 Agent for VMWare
    • Unlimited number of BE2014 Database and application pack (this license can be used for the back up of Databases within the Guest OS or Virtual Machine)
    • Unlimited BE2014 AWS (this agent used to back up flatfiles of the Guest OS or Virtual Machine)

    Now, if you have a physical server that needed to be back up, you need to purchase addition BE2014 AWS (for Flat files) or BE2014 Database Application Pack (if the server has a database).
