NetBackup 7.6 Licenses

Hello everyone,

I need some help about NetBackup 7.6 licenses. Currently our organization want to buy NetBackup, our infrastructure have:

  • 1 server will use as NetBackup Server
  • 7 Hyper-V hosts (run SQL, Exchange and some other apps)
  • 2 DB2 servers
  • 2 SQL servers
  • 2 Active Directory servers
  • 5 Web servers
  • 7 File servers

So i figured we will need:

  • 1 NetBackup Enterprise Server
  • 7 NetBackup Enterprise Client
  • 18 NetBackup Standard Client
  • 18 NetBackup Client Application and Database Pack (7 for Hyper-V, 4 for DB Servers, 2 for AD, 5 for Web Servers)

Did I calculated it right ? If not, what do I need ? And if I use capacity based, do I need to purchase App & Database Pack ?

Thank you & Best regards.

Actually, as from NBU 7.6, dedupe (Data Protection optimization Option) is include in Platform (Capacity) license.

You did not say where you will be backing up to? You will need licenses for your backup medium as well - something like Enterprise disk or Library based tape drives (or both).

Best to reach out to your local reseller for best licensing advice.

Hi NhutVu,

Apps and DB pack is included if you will purchase the platform/capacity based licensing, thus this is licensed through your front end data and It is recommended that a growth rate should be factored into the front-end capacity estimate. You dont need Apps and DB pack for the web servers a standard or enterprise client will do considering your tier level.

Kindly see this link: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH59978

If you have a requirement for deduplication you might as well include Netbackup Data Protection optimization Option (DPOO) which is licensed per TB of data.

Hope this helps.

Thanks
