I'll state first that we use a capacity based licensing model, so I've been out of the loop for a few years on licenses and all that (thank goodness!). The VMware backup host can be a Client, Media Server, or even a Master. All it has to have is access to the datastore(s) and configured in

Mikhail, I'm not following what you're saying. NBU can restore granular files from a CBT enabled backup. How does Avamar differ from that? Rusty Major, MCSE, BCFP, VCS ▪ Sr. Storage Engineer ▪ SunGard Availability Services ▪ 757 N. Eldridge Suite 200, Houston TX 77079 ▪ 281-584-4693 Keeping

Rusty, I'm talking about full VM recovery. Let's imagine we have a VM with vmdk of 500Gb. We've made a full backup (500Gb) plus several CBT incrementals (say 10-20 Gb). Next, we screwed the VM and want to recover. NBU in this case restores first backup (full VM) plus required number of CBT
