Your sales rep is saying the right thing (pay per TB) and the other sales rep is off base (pay per drive). I'm also saying don't shoot the messenger, but any sales rep who is saying that a 6.x drive-based license is valid for a VTL obviously hasn't read the licensing guide.
This is what happens when you have a 50-page+ pricing schema. --- W.

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. Jack L.

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.

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.
