Hi,

1. This is the Remote Agent for Windows Servers. You need 1 of these PER non-application Windows OS-based server you want to backup. Ie. file server, domain controller, print server etc.

2. This allows you to backup databases like SQL and Exchange!

3. Symantec Desktop & Laptop Option allows you to backup desktops/laptops. It used to be part of BE from 2010 R3 and back, but is now its own product.

4. This is your media server license...without it you don't have Backup Exec.
