ServerFree Option

[Tony_Smith_2]

I am currently running BackupExec v10. We just put in an EMC SAN with a Celerra datamover. The Celerra is capable of NDMP server-free backups. I look through the Backup Exec manual and see a reference to a ServerFree option for Backup Exec, however, I cannot seem to find anywhere that I can purchase this. The only thing I can find is a ServerFree Option whitepaper that directs me to HP. I would like to know if this option is available.

Priya,

I have just been told by a symantec representative that NDMP and BackupExec won't work. What's the solution if i want to make a fast backup of a Celerra using BackupExec?

TNX,

Marcel

I think I have finally figured out that the ServerFree option is only sold with Backup Exec when you purchase an HP branded solution.
