Hi,

NBU is targeted at enterprise clients, where BE is more SMB and mid-tier backup software. Check below:

Thanks!

If your environment is predominately Windows, then BE will be more suitable. If your environment is heterogeneous with a mix of Windows and Linux/Unix machine, then you would use NBU. BE is cheaper than NBU

hi all

but as i seen on http://www.choisirmonebusiness.com/documents/pdf/FR/FR/Symantec-Backup-Exec-2012-Guide.pdf

BE also support Linux and  Mac OS

Thanks

Yes, but not as extensive as NBU

[miss_win]

yes but want i liked on BE is that suitable for virtuel ans physical infrastructure

[pkh]

NBU too can backup both physical and virtual machines

What do you want to do? How big is your environment? Do uou have UNIX and a lot of Linux servers in the mix? Large environments are suitable for NBU especially for non-Windows servers. Cost-wise NBU is also going to be a lot more, and the learning curve a lot greater. Thanks!
