Netbackup 6.5.3. client agent install without db option on sql svr.

[v482syn]

Hi,

as we are backing up sql internal backup files(flatfiles)only there is no need to have the db option installed.
Can someone explain how to deploy client agent without the db option. As far as i understood NBU automatically installs option when sql svr is detected.( I don't mean; install agent before installing sql svr).
Thanx,
Peter.

Don't complicate your environment. Let it install. It doen't take up any disk space or add any processes.

Thx for yor reply...BUT, at a going price of €800/option-agent it's a waste.

Thats only if you purchase the license

The company I'am in is paying for the licences it uses. I was just trying to find a way to reduce costs(20x€800=aheap), as we're only backing up SQL internal db backups which are flatfiles.

The SQL server option is part of the default installation in for all Windows clients (even if there are no SQL Server databases on the client).

My understanding is that you don't need a license unless you actually perform SQL backups using that option. If you contact Symantec licensing, they should be able to confirm this.
