Netbackup client

Hi,

I have 1 unix server with Oracle database which i would like to take backup over SAN. I also have 4 Hyper-V servers which also needs to be back it up over SAN. Lastly there are 2 SQL servers which i need to take backup over LAN and not SAN. The Server will be over SAN.

 

My question is does i need to purchase all the enterprise client or can i also purchase standard client for those servers which i can take the backup over LAN?

Also does purchasing enterprise client will support Netbackup Standard server? or does the enterprise client need enterprise server?

Thanks

    You can only use Enteprise Clients with the Enterprisee Server version of NetBackup

    For servers backing up over the SAN they would need an Enterprise Client license - for those over the LAN they need a Standard Client license

    You also need the database pack per application client ot Hyper-V server

    But for these you would need the Enterprise Server upgrade first

    Chat with your Symantec partner for all prices, Tiering etc

    Hope this helps

    Enterprise Server" is for master server. To use Enterprise Client, server license must be "Enterprise Sverver".

    Please ref below link:

    https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/difference-between-netbackup-enterprise-and-standard-version

     

    NetBackup Enterprise Client:
    The NetBackup Enterprise Client combines all of our
    advanced capabilities in one easy-to-use package. When
    you purchase the Enterprise Client, the Standard Client is
    included.
     
     
    NetBackup Standard Client
    The NetBackup Standard Client contains key features such
    as deduplication, bare metal restore, and client encryption.
    It resides on the same server as the application, database,
    or files that are being protected and sends data to a
    NetBackup server for protection or receives data during a
    recovery.

    As suggested by Mark, please speak to your Symantec reseller.

    Ask them for NetBackup 7.6 Licensing Guide (External).pdf which can be downloaded from PartnerNet.
