Dear Forum Group,

I am going to purchase Symantec backup exec and i need to run evaluation to backup VM, but after installation, i doesn't come with V-Ray feature to backup V-M in Evaluation. Please kindly give me an idea about this trial product, we need VRay for back solution.

 

Thanks. 

Sam

Every Edition of Backup Exec uses the same product installation files, all V-Ray is, is a licensing package that enables certain abilities.

 

So to trial V-ray you just install the base product in trial mode and when you get to select what options to trial make sure

Agent for Windows

Agent for Application and Databases

and Virtual Agents are all enabled

... as well as the core product options.

 

Note this might actually allow you to backup some systems that V-Ray could not without an addtional license  (a physical remote system for instance )  but other than that it has the same functionality over V-Mware and Hyper-V

The V-Ray Edition is just a licencing bundle. If you need to try out backing your VM's, you can just enable the BE hypervisor agent for the hypervisor software that you are using. Click on the BE button then click on Installation and Licencing and Install Options and Licencing. Follow the dialog to enable the hypervisor agent option. You will have 60-days to try it out
