    NBU does not count. It is up to the customer to ensure that licensed amount is not exceeded or that more is purchased once exceeded. The amount of 'front-end' client data is measured.

    As per Licensing Guide:

     

    The actual data to be protected is measured, not the capacity of storage on which it resides or the aggregate amount of data backed up to disk. Data is measured as the current largest aggregate full (or synthetic full) backup performed.
     
    You can use nbdeployutil in ...\netbackup\bin\admincmd\ to help determine current usage.

Hi

 

You can also use OpsCentre, if you have it deployed in your environment. If you head over to settings I believe, that last tab should also give you an estimate of your estate in netbackup(in a nice csv file).

 

Keep in mind to use this feature you have to have the OpsCentre agent installed.
