Licencing Question

[Bopp]

Hi Community,

was wondering how to licence the following scenario:

We have a customer with a weak Internet-Bandwith.
We want to backup O365-Content to an Azure-Windows-O365-Backup-Machine during the week, but on weekends the customer wants an OnPrem Backup to a local Windows-O365-Backup-Machine.
Copying the Azure Maschine to the OnPrem-Environment is no option in any way.

Do I need to licence every O365-User for the Azure-Backup-Maschine and the OnPrem-Backup-Machine?
Or can I use the same licence on both Machines, as the same O365-Users a backuped?

Regards,
Bopp

Hi Bopp,

If I understand your configuration and needs correctly, you can do this with a single VBO server installation. For example, VBO server along with default proxy could run on an Azure VM and an additional remote backup proxy with a repository could be deployed on-premises (or an on-premises SMB3 share could be added as a repository to the default proxy). Different backup jobs could be pointed to different repositories accordingly.

A license will be consumed by each user whose mailbox/archive/OneDrive is backed up.
