To use OST Interface in Backup Exec 2010 you can use one the following licences per Server/Environment.

If you don't have Backup Exec yet

SYMC BACKUP EXEC DEDUPLICATION SUITE

If you have a Backup Exec 2010 server licenced.

SYMC BACKUP EXEC OPTION DEDUPLICATION

If this answers your questen please mark this as Solution.

HI Luthar,

thanks for the reply i would like to know if SSO (shared storage option) is also needed?

SAN SSO license is only required if you are sharing the hardware (like Robotic Library) between two Media servers (that is two Backup Exec Servers). So in this case SSO license is not required.

Thanks,
