Storix System Backup Administrator 11 Version 8.2 User Guide
Network
Edition The Network Edition license is only installed onto the system from which network
backups will be centrally managed. This system is known as the Network
Administrator. Typically, there is a single Network Administrator in a backup
environment. This system may also be a client or backup server, but this is not a
requirement. This option includes all features of the Workstation Edition, but allows
backups of remote systems configured with a Client/Server license to be managed by
the local Network Administrator system.
A license key is required on the Network Administrator system, which also defines the
number of clients and/or backup servers which may be managed by the administrator.
Although no license key is required for each of the clients or backup servers, the
client/server software must be installed and configured on each system before the
Network Administrator may manage them.
Client/Server Must be installed on each system which will be a client or backup media server. A
client/server license for the local system is included with the Network Edition license.
If installed separately, this client must be controlled by a Network Administrator
system. No license key is required on the client or backup server since the number of
supported clients and backup servers are defined by the Network Edition license.
Backup management features, such as scheduling and history reporting are provided
only on the Network Administrator system.
TSM Edition This license is installed onto a system from which only TSM (Tivoli Storage
Manager) backups will be managed. This edition differs significantly from the types of
backups and backup devices that are supported by the Network and, Workstation
Editions, and are therefore documented in a separate user guide.
If you want to extend the Network Edition to support backups to TSM servers, then
refer to the TSM Client Feature below.
For TSM Edition, please refer to the System Backup Administrator TSM Edition
User Guide for details on this license and compatible features.
Backup Data
Encryption
Feature This optional license may be added to a Network Edition, TSM Edition or Workstation
Edition to enable AES data encryption support for all backups. If used with Network
or TSM Edition, a license is purchased for the number of Clients for which backup
data should be encrypted.
TSM Client
Backup
Feature This optional license may be added to a Network Edition license to add the ability to
perform TSM client (node) backups to a TSM server. While the TSM Edition license
allows only Full System Backups, adding this option to a Network Edition will allow
you to perform any type of SBAdmin backup to a TSM server, while continuing to
utilize tape and disk devices as backup media on other SBAdmin backup servers.
Evaluation License Key
All license options and features above, except the Client/Server, require a license key. This key is unique
to each system that the software is installed onto, and must be obtained from Storix. Wherever a license
key is required, the user may type the word “trial” for a free 30-day evaluation of all features of the
software.
