Symantec backup for SBS question

Hi All,

Not strictly pure SBS I know but cant get any sense out of the Symantec
website.

I have SBS2000 and am using Veritas v9 backup exec which has 2 lic keys one
for the server and one for the agent that backs up exchange.

I now have Symantec Backup Exec 10d for Windows Small Business Server
There is only one lic key on the packet and I suspect it may only back up
the server files and not exchange even though it says its for Small Business
Server. Has anyone used this product will it backup exchange as well with
the one lic key.

Any thoughts or help appreciated?

Cheers, David

Yes it includes Exchange backup capability as well as SQL.

Thanks Steve,
Can you be more specific please although its the SBS version does it not
need an extra license to run the exchange 'agent' backup or it all included
in the one license number.
Cheers, David

It should be included in that one license number.
