Hi there,
We need to procure backup exec license for one of our server. Would like to know which is recommended option. Anyone who have idea about licensing , can you share some ideas here.
This is our backup environment,
*One Master /Media physical server connected to Tape drive. (Dell R730)
*One VM running on Vmware/Hyper-VM (not decided yet) need to be backed up. (2TB monthly full backup)
Backup policy:
Full backup - 2 month retention (4TB capacity)
Daily Differential - 1 month retention
_______________________
Do we need One backup exec Server license and one Backup exec Agent license, anything for tape drive? or capacity based license for 4 TB will be beneficial. Help!

Hello,
trying to help out here... hope it works..
you can proposed the following :-
1 x BE15 server
1 X Agent for Vmware/hyperv
BE15 servers comes / support single tape drive (FOC). If customer is using autoloader / tape library with robotics then you need to buy additional licenses.
However you can proposed option 2 for full capacity licenses. it all depends on customer's budget / requirements. The environment is very small so traditional license is more costs effective.
Hope this helps...
