I will have some dual-boot workstations, both of whose OSes will need to be backed up. If the Linux instance mounts the Windows NTFS disk in its fstab, would the Linux agent of Backup Exec be able to grab content on the NTFS volume?
If you're saying that a license for each OS is necessary if each is booted to be backed up, certainly. Are you saying two licenses are needed if WIndows is presented to the Linux instance as a mounted volume or an tarred file?
If scheduling and compute power (and space) sufficed, I wonder if dd if=/dev/rsd01c | tar -czf /var/windows/disk.tar.gz (or something like that) before backing up Linux might help.
Thanks to you both. The issue is that dual-boot is a customer requirement, and the Windows instance is likely to have a harder time garbbing the Linux files than vice versa.
There may be a way to schedule a boot into each OS to back them up with the...
