Description

Backup Exec Simple Capacity - Subscription

Backup Exec has introduced a new Subscription-based capacity model that allows you to use the product in a way that best suits your environment.

The subscription metering is capacity-based, which allows you to protect the total number of front-end terabytes (FETB).

The following licenses are introduced:

  • Backup Exec Simple Capacity Core Pack

  • Backup Exec Simple Capacity Add On

For more information about the new Subscription licensing, refer to the Backup Exec Licensing Guide.

Backup Exec Restore Only

The Restore Only license in Backup Exec allows you to restore your backup sets if you do not have a valid license or if your license has expired.

If you have a valid backup license, your backups and restores continue to work as expected.

For more information, refer to the Backup Exec Licensing Guide.
