We have a V-ray licensed for 8 CPU's and mainly use backup through vCenter. However, we have a single application with a FoxPro database which is so error prone, that we decided to backup twice a day. However, if we backup through vCenter, a snapshot is created, giving the application a small hiccup and crashing it more than half the times. So we decided to use agent backups for the 3 virtual machines running the application.
So far, so good, application doesn't crash from the backup. Backup functions correctly, everybody happy you'd say, but....
We receive license warnings:
(Server: "NLBRSRV001") When V-Ray Edition is installed it does not cover protection of physical machines unless enough agent licenses have been purchased. It appears that you have exceeded the number of licenses for your Backup Exec environment. Review your license and maintenance contract information on the Backup Exec Home tab.
As it is a virtual machine, I was under the impression that this was within the scope of the license. We only received this message after the first agent based backup so I'm pretty sure it is related to using the agent to backup. I can't (and will not) disable the warning as it is also my warning for maintenance contracts about to expire, but I don't want to receive this message twice a day and miss out on the warning due to the "false positives". how can this be solved?
