Hello,
Explanation on why do we require license but no component.
How does backupexec understands SNAP SERVER?
(SNAP is basically an external HDD attached with power cord and network cable)
For Backupexec, NAS/SNAP SERVER is just another windows server on the network, this is because NAS units has the ability to mimic "real" Windows NT/2000, UNIX ,or Macintosh servers .This means that users don't have to do anything differently when they want to access them. As far as they are concerned,the NAS/SNAPSERVER unit is just another server out on the network on which to save or from which to retrieve their important files.
Therefore when you configure the SNAP SERVER The quick configuration series of menus takes you step-by-step through the process. First,you set up the current date and time for the server's clock,Then you select which networking environment you want the server to operate in. Snap Server is one of the more versatile NAS devices in that it supports AppleShare, UNIX NFS, and Novell Netware networks,in addition to standard Windows protocols. Once you choose windows networking environment and you select whether you want to use your existing user accounts on a Windows server or set up new accounts you are almost done with the SNAP SERVER configuration. While backing SNAP SERVER Backupexec will think it as another windows server on the network and thus demands "RAWS" but no component required.(Infact can not be installed).
To resolve this issue,purchase and register the "RAWS"/"RANT" license on the media server no component required.
