Correct.

2. Disk optimization license for 67 TB

Incorrect.
For Data Protection Optimization Add-on, you need to license total amount of Client data you need to backup. This is the equivalent of one full backup for each client.

Plus all the Agent and Option licenses to backup clients....

If you have Platform Base – Complete Edition license, ALL agents and options are included.

A Symantec partner or Symantec SE will be able to give you the estimate of the Front End TB license you need to purchase.

Hi Khalid, search this forum for the term 'nbdeployutil' - which is the tool that is typically used to size up the front-end backup foot-print. It is the front-end end backup capacity that is licensed, and not either of... the raw usable footprint of disk space landing zone pre-de-dupe, nor the consumed disk raw disk landing zone post-de-dupe, nor the total of stored backup data post-de-dupe.

In summary, it is the total front-end client size that is licensed, and nothing at the back-end.
