Small Business Agents

[310910015]

I am currently running Small Business Server Standard V9.1 on a Windows SBS 2000 Server. When i ordered it i actually ordered the wrong version as I wanted the one with the SQL Agent. Is there a way to purchase this agent at this time. I am also looking for the Agent for a remote Server.

Hi
yes. You cal always purchase separate licence for SQL and and other agent for a remote server.

Pls talk to the Sales Dept at veritas at 1-800-327-2232

thanx

The SBS version of Backup Exec, just like the SBS version of Windows Server, is designed purely for a standalone server environment, where you have one server in the office which does everything, therefore as far as I'm aware it doesn't support installation of remote agents for backing up remote servers.

My guess would be that you can't install any agents into an SBS installation, however, since from looking at prices I've got here I can see that a copy of the SQL Agent costs more than an entire copy of SBS Premium, if you can't get your copy changed from Standard to Premium, it would be cheaper for you to just ditch the current copy and buy a Premium copy, than it would be to buy a SQL agent in the hope that it will install.

Unfortunately I had not had a whole lot of time to pursue any further. Also as far as the 2 Versions go after doing some digging I understand this but when I originally purchased it there was no real clear distinction on the Web site that I found. I am dealing with SBS 2000 which is only one version and comes with SQL so when I saw SBS Veritas I assumed that it would have the SQL component.
