Edition of Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery
I'm confusing about the Symantec Backup Exec and the Backup Exec System Recovery (Virtual Edition and Server Edition). My environment is: 2 same physical machines with VMware ESX 4.1 (host OS). Each of them contains 2 VM running Windows 2008 (guest OS).
Other than the database which requires Backup Exec Agent for SQL Server, should I still use Backup Exec in each guest OS for backing up files?
Which edition (Virtual Edition or Server Edition) of Backup Exec System Recovery (BESR) should I use for backing up Windows/VM images? Where should I install the BESR, in host OS, in each guest OS, or separate physical server running Windows 2008? (Note: VMware ESX is Linux based.)
Thanks in advance!
