Symantec Netbackup 7 licensing
Hi All,
I'd like to know if I'm getting this correctly.
I'm planning to get Netbackup 7 Starter Edition according to b-symc_netbackup_7_core_DS_12995286-2.en-us.pdf (http://eval.symantec.com/mktginfo/enterprise/fact_sheets/b-symc_netbackup_7_core_DS_12995286-2.en-us.pdf) Table 2. the Edition comparison
the Starter Edition can have 5 Server (supported clients) does this means i can have the following backup items:
1x ESXi 4 server (using vStorage API for inline deduplication - Change Block Tracking)
1x Solaris SPARC + Oracle DB 10gR2
1x Linux
1x Windows Server + Share Point 2007 (Granular restore)
Since it is said that i could have: Server Clients, Tape Drive and Database Agents included ? yes I understand that Deduplication is not included here since it will need another license to spend.
I'm getting confused here of which product that i should get :-|
Would be good if anyone can clarify this please ?
Hi.. NetBackup Starter Pack with 5 clients includes:
- 1x NetBackup Server
- 5x Standard Client (backup Over LAN)
- 1x Tape Drive in Library
If you want to backup VMware machines using vstorage api:
- you have to buy Enterprise Client License but it's not compatible with Starter Pack (NB Server)
- it's not working on free version of ESXi
All databases require a license for agent.
Licenses for your environment:
1x Enterprise Server (backup server)
1x Enterprise Client (vstorage api)
4x Standard client
3x Database & Application pack
If you want to buy those licenses you have to count physical cpus in all servers (except Linux machine)
You can also buy license called Symc NetBackup Platform Base 1TB. You have to count frontend data and you can use all options without restrictions (without deduplication and realtime)
