Um,
We paid for a client license in NetWorker and used the NetWorker
integration. This means you just pay for capacity on Avamar. No problem
there.

Hey Joel,
That's the same plan the EMC sales force told me about -- but that means you
now have paid for
the AVAMAR solution and also have to pay for a NetWorker client license for
each one of your
guests. Hence I'm in agreement with Alec. As I need to expand the licenses
to cover my
guests, I'm going to be switching to the Virtual Server license model --
because I have to run
the NetWorker client on each guest anyway with the current EMC dedupe
product (so I can get a
off-site clone copy on tape per requirements).
