Essentials Enterprise License and Storage Snapshots

Post by dokrusch »

We recently upgraded our VBR License from Essentials Standard to Essentials Enterprise.

While installing our new Backup Server I realised that 'Backup from Storage Snapshots'
is not available with an Essentials Enterprise license (as I mistakengly assumed), but requires Enterprise Plus.
Correspondingly the 'Integration' options of a backup job are greyed out.

But I noticed that I can create a storage snapshot under 'Storage Infrastruture' just fine.


Now I've got two questions:

- is there a Plus version of 'Essentials Enterprise'?

- is creating and recovering from a storage snapshot under 'Storage Infrastruture' covered by our Essentials Enterprise license?

Manual snapshots creation and snapshot-only jobs, as well as restores from storage snapshots are available in Enterprise edition. Backup from storage snapshots functionality requires Enterprise Plus.
