Hi,

A simple question..

We are trying out the backup exec for the first time.  Need we buy the backup exec and the agents too.  I am not able to understand the relation bet the backup exec and the agents. I thank you for taking time of to explain this.

Think of Backup Exec as the 'main' application that you will log into to create jobs... etc.
The agents get installed on the machines that you want to backup.  The agents communicate back to the main Backup Exec application (also called the media server).
