Does ESX_FULL_BACKUP License used for VCB Backup ?

From the discussion forum, I find that the licence ESX_FULL_BACKUP is used for consolidated backup. Does it means that they are used for VCB Backup ?

We just find that some of the ESX_FULL_BACKUP Licences are used but we haven't implemented VCB. On the other hand, we are using vRanger Pro 3.2.8 for backup. Does vRanger Pro use ESX_FULL_BACKUP licence ?

Thanks

VCB = Consolidated Backup

VCB is included in license tiers VI Foundation and above.

Vizioncore's vRanger Pro will leverage VCB if you configure backups that way. Vizioncore has a downloadable VCB agent plugin for Ranger to do this.

Dear Jason,

Thank you for your prompt reply. Since the ESX 3.5 Hosts are upgraded from ESX 2.5, under configuration - license, we get the following items

ESX Server Standard

VC Agent for ESX Server

ESX_FULL_BACKUP

VMotion

VMWare HA

VMWare DRS

VC Mgt Server

From your reply, my understanding is that ESX_FULL_BACKUP is used for VCB. As we don't download VCB plug-in for vRanger Pro, I have to look into the reason why some of the ESX_FULL_BACKUP license is used.

Thanks again
