[Veritas-bu] what license are required to backup VMs as normal client backups

Jeff, Thanks for the information. The particular problem is only for Windows machine where we have a policy simply to backup the System State. Most of the machines are standalone servers, with a couple of windows clusters which we backup via the virtual name. I am a bit stumped until I can
