I have downloaded the trial of Symantec BackupExec 2010 but I am a little confused: The agent for Hyper-V is available and for sale ($1800 or something), but the trial of BackupExec tells me i can install the agents I need from the installer.

Can I install a full version of BackupExec, providing I have the license, but also install a full version of the Hyper-V agent? Or do I have to download/buy this seperately? Is a trial version available for the agents?

As is probably obvious from this thread, I am a bit confused about the business model of this product. Please clarify.

Thanks

During the trial period you can install and use all of the options and agents. Once the trial period ends then any components you haven't added a license for will cease to function.

  • Yep and to clarify - When it comes to the actual purchase you need to buy the Backup Exec product itself PLUS the separate Hyper-V Agents for your hosts. You then add the license numbers into the backup exec console, and the corresponding number of agent installations are enabled. Apr 23, 2010 at 11:59
