Actually, Legato has been charging for the Disk Backup Option (DBO) for a
while now.

DBO licenses are required for either file-type device - normal or advanced,
versions 6.1.x or 7.0 onwards.

If you were using backup to disk prior to the 7.0 release, contact your
salesperson.  There's a "grandfathering" program.

And we still don't charge for staging.

Hang on - who said they were going to charge extra for staging?
NetWorker 7 has an advanced disk device (adv_file), and this is what
requires an extra licence. AFAIK the standard disk device (file) is still
included as before.
