Big mistake going with VCB and not much of an upgrade going to VMware VDR. 
 We are backing up hundreds of server at multiple sites using VDR and we 
are dying here waiting for the new 7.6.2 with the new VM API's.  Go the 
7.6.2 route for sure. 

Ken feel free to call and I can answer you questions more in depth about 
our experiences.

[Networker] Minimum hardware and VCB Licensing question
Sent by:
EMC NetWorker discussion <NETWORKER AT LISTSERV.TEMPLE DOT EDU>



Just starting to investigate using VCB with Networker.  We are currently 
running 7.4.2 and would like to upgrade to 7.6.1 first.  A few questions 
if you don't mind:

1.  The minimum hardware requirements for 7.4.2 and 7.6.1 are the same 
(linux version) - dual core processor.  We aren't running 7.4.2 on a 
dual core and are wondering if we could run 7.6.1 on this box.

2.  If we use VCB with 7.4.2, do we need a license for EACH VM we want 
to back up, or just the VCB?   How about for 7.6.1?

3.  I also know that VCB will be not needed for 7.6.2 - should we just 
wait for that?

Thanks in advance....
