Currently I have NBU 6.5 master and media server and around 40 NBU Windows clients with standard licenses. Nothing fancy. Our VM environment has 9 ESXi 3.5 hosts with 50 VM's and shared datastores. About 10 of those VM's are using the standard NBU clients to backup to tape. Nothing fancy there either. ;)
I'm looking into possibly moving to a VMware NBU configuration? and backup VM's via datastore, etc.., but I'm not 100% sure how this is configured. And honestly, I'd like to stay with the cheapest solution (regarding NBU licenses). I also heard that if I just purchase Enterprise licenses for each ESX host, I can use as many NBU standard clients on VM's that I please. So as you can tell, I'm a bit confused and need to know my options and which is the most cost effective. Any help or advice is much appreciated!
