Wow, very nice. Sorry that I am late to the party. Could not be here for what appears to have been the main event.
Whenever you post, I can't help reading it in the "Strong Bad" voice. Just sayin'...
Checkin' my emails!

Sounds like it must be type 2.
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.
So, we all made it complicated by not reading the article...

What?!? That never happens!

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.

@KatieUnitrends thanks for the clarification. That's awesome.

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

As far as I can tell in the new Unitrends Free version there is no option for exlcusions. The Old UEB had it in the free versions. There's also no backup type options it's incremental forever only.

Makes what Katie just posted kinda difficult.

Yeah, I've noticed that even in the Unitrends Community, which is the forum for the community edition (aka Unitrends Free). Unitrends employes have been giving different answers to the same questions. I'm wonderg if they aren't basing their answers off some internal version rather than the Unitrends free public beta. They also said on the forums that the disk based exclusions currently are not working even if selected in the GUI, I don't even have the option for that. So, I'm guessing it's that the non working features are not in the public beta.
