That's only if you're backing up the physical host using the Redhat client.

If you're backing up the virtual hosts (ie - you install the NBU client in
the VM's) you still need a license per virtual client. I've had *this*
confirmed by Veritas. (although that doesn't necessarily mean it's
correct!).

I worked at a place that consolidated ~150 physical Windows servers to 5
VMware servers. They still needed their 150 NBU client licenses (all
Windows)

I worked at another place where we suspended the virtual machines and backe=
d
up the .vmdk images from the vmware host. They only needed one NBU client
license (Redhat)
