License needed or not for new drive

[Aijaz_Khan]

Hi,

We have NetBackup 7.5 Master Server installed on Windows 2008 server.

And Media Server installed on 16 servers.

We have 2 drives in an MSL library.

Now we need to add one more dirive in library, so do we have to buy any license to use new drive in NetBackup Symantec or not?

We have below licnese installed as of now.

NETBACKUP PLATFORM BASE COMPLETE EDITION 7.5  quantity 16

NETBACKUP PLATFORM DATA PROTECTION OPTIMIZATION ADDON 7.5    quantity 16

Please suggest....

Thanks in advance....

Your Capacity licenses allow you to use any amount of features and options, including library based tape drives.

Hi Marianne,

Thanks for your reply,

Do we have any guide to understand NetBackup licenses?

Thanks

You need to speak to your local reseller.

Symantec Partners have access to NetBackup Licensing Guide that can unfortunately not be shared on a public forum.

Symantec has published this TN that may answer 'some' of your questions:  http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO74614
