RAWS required for single windows server backup?

[Andreas_M]

Hello,

Our client's environment is 1 windows server and 1 linux server. My understanding is that I do not need the remote agent for windows, since the database and media server is all on the same box. Is that correct?

I am getting a notice that the trial version of the RAWS agent expires in a few days. I tried stopping the RAWS service, but that stops the BE Job Engine, and if I start the BE job engine again, RAWS starts up again.

Environment is Win Server 2k8, running BE 2010R3.

Any  suggestions / clarifications?

Thanks,

Andreas

I presume that your single Windows server is the media server as well as the application server.  In this case, you do not need a RAWS licence to back it up.  You can ignore the RAWS licence expiring message.  You could have triggered the trial of the RAWS by backing up from a source external to the media server, e.g. a share on the Linux server.

You should not stop the remote agent service on the media server.  This is required for backup and restore operations.
