Backup Manager

A Backup Manager Unit License is required for each physical or virtual host that contains supported third-party backup software agent/server software. This includes, but is not limited to, master servers, media servers, and clients. A Backup Manager Unit License is required for each of the logical instances, not just one license for the physical machine. In this discussion, client is synonymous with backup unit.
