      Ok solid it IS the source Data!

      For me personally - I'm teetering on the edge with this amount. Time to see what I can get rid of...

          Bahaha. I always thought it was like @art_of_shred said but it could have changed.

            @Reid-Cooper I think I need a diagram. I thought I had understood it originally but not anymore.

              As per Ian here at the Unitrends booth it is Source data.

                So you have the following:

                server 1 - 200 GB
                Server 2 - 400 GB
                Server 3 - 500 GB

                with the free version you can backup:
                1 and 2 because they = 600 GB
                or 1 and 3 because they = 700 GB
                or 2 and 3 because they = 900 GB,
                but not 1, 2 and 3 because they = 1.1 TB.

                From the sounds of it, your backup storage could be 10 TB if you wanted, allowing you to have many incrementals of the above backups.

                  This must be a "licensing" model of control. There are 2 options:

                  1. You can attach a chunk of storage up to 1TB. It's your storage, so backup whatever you want as many times as you want, up to filling that 1TB.

                  2. You are "licensed" for 1TB, so no matter what you attach in terms of storage capacity, you can only protect up to 1TB of source data. So, if you attach 10TB of storage, you can get lots of retention for your 1TB of data protected.

                  If "source data" is the answer, it has to be option 2.

                    Sounds like it must be type 2.

                      That sounds pretty positive. Maybe someone can get it installed and see the limit imposed in some manner?

                        Yes, it is option 2. Excerpt from the release article:

                        "Unitrends Free provides hypervisor-level protection for up to 1 terabyte (TB) of data."

                          Okay awesome, thanks for following up with that. That's great news then. That means long retention periods for a sizable amount of data.

                            Wow, very nice. Sorry that I am late to the party. Could not be here for what appears to have been the main event.

                                      Very nice. At 1TB of source data, that covers nearly any SMB.

                                        Sorry for the late response from us on this. The 1TB license includes the data that you're protecting, not the data that you're retaining. This means that if you have a 1TB VM that you only want to protect a few specific files which take up about 500GB, as long as you've setup the exclusions for the initial backup, you will only have used 500GB of the available 1TB of protection. If you forget to setup the exclusions before the initial backup, then your entire license will be used on this single client, and it's probably best to scrap this installation & start over. Please let me know if this answers your questions.

                                            How do you have exclusions without an agent in the OS?
