Storage Viewer for Backup
A Storage Viewer for Backup Unit License is required for each physical or virtual host that contains supported third-party backup software agent/server software. This includes, but is not limited to, master servers, media servers, and clients. A Storage Viewer for Backup Unit License is required for each of the logical instances, not just one license for the physical machine. In this discussion, client is synonymous with backup unit.
