NetBackup Licensing


NetBackup licensing
Each server that you backup over the LAN needs a Standard Client license.  Each server backed up over the SAN needs an enterprise client license.  Each virtual machine backing up as a regular client will require a Standard client license.  Each virtual machine that will leverage Netbackup VCB integration, will require an Enterprise client license.

Each robotic tape drive will need a library based tape drive license.

The Netbackup server and NetBackup enterprise server license does not include any robotic tape drive licenses.

Application and Database licenses are licensed per database and per system, so you will need 2 Application and DataBase Pack Licenses to perform hot backups for both Oracle and Sybase.  Since both databases are running on the same OS, there is no need to purchase an additional client license
