Hi,

We are to provide a backup solution for Solaris containers. Each of the continers have more than 1TB of data to be backed up the option is to use Enterprise client in a non virtualized environment. According to avaiable documentation NetBakcup has limited support for tape media servers in Solaris Containers. Therefore the the option we are evaluating is to install the client + application agent on the container and to install a media server on the global zone. I would like to get this option validated.

Also what is the license requirement for this type of environment. Is it

1. Enterpirse Server + Client + App & DB Agent

2. Enterpirse Server + App & DB Agent (As the client license is built into the Server license)

As Symantec partner, you also have access to Partnernet, right? Use the 'search' bar to locate the NBU Licensing Guide.

I agree with point 2:
Enterprise Server + App & DB Agent

Supporting Storage Foundation and VCS on Unix and Windows as well as NetBackup on Unix and Windows
