That's the opposite of what our Symantec rep and resellers told us.
We're getting 2 EDL4400s and are paying by the TB.  Not sure why
Symantec feels they're entitled to it, I think maybe Symantec has hired
some former RIAA execs.

I have asked my account rep multiple times and been explained that I do
not have to license my VTL (EMC CDL720).  Since it is presented as a
real robot to the OS, then NetBackup has no clue that it is not a robot.

So, there is not always a cost for the VTL, depending on how you do the
setup.

6.5 uses a sliding capacity model. 1-20TB would be priced about same per
TB.
Above 20TB the discount gets greater.

Under Traditonal Model 6.5
$995 List per TB "Usable Capacity" NBU for VTL (VTO) 

$0 DSU Free
$995 List DSU per TB with NetBackup Flexible Disk Option(FDO) (Advanced
Disk and SharedDisk)

Enterprise Model 6.5
$11,995 List per FE Terabytes includes Vault,SSO,FDO,VTO,OSO,NAS
Snapvault,NDMP) Most every thing you will ever need.
FE Front End, basically the total of all your fulls. Minus all copies of
redundant data.


Netbackup 6.0
$1000 per TB VTL


Can't do NDMP to a DSU as far as I know.
Need Tape or VTL for NDMP.

I just need to know the Veritas Licenses cost for VTL and DSU if i want
to implement a 20TB Disk Storage. Thanks
