Beta Length

I just installed the Beta, which is listed as a trial, I installed it today and it says I have 155 days left.

How long is the beta for? Is it a timed beta, 155 days, or is it set to expire on a particular date?

Will the real version be available before the trial is up?

 

Thanks,

Roger D. Fontaine

155 days...so it will expire

155 days...so it will expire 155 days from now, and I assume the final product will be out long before then.

If you find this is a solution, please mark it as such.

Separate purchase for Dedupe Option ?

OK, great.

So in this case it seems that the Dedupe option is a separate option to install (and buy), therefore I can just get that option as new purchase.

I heard that February 2010 is the release date for this product, can't wait for that time to come.

Cheers.

Backup Agent support

Hi All,

Does Backup Exec 2010 will also supports ESXi 4 backup using vStorage API ? or just the traditional VCB backup as it was before ?

Thanks.

 It's supposed to eliminate VCB and use the new backup API's, utilizing all the new bells and whistles in vSphere4.

Why do people complain about support wait times, when there is an online portal?

Puredisk integration

I have installed the BETA successfully, but the documentation is a little sketchy on how to setup BE 2010 to connect to a Puredisk SPA for offsite backup.  Is this feature available in the BETA?  If so, is there any other documentation other than the Admin guide that I can use to get this setup?
