注: The Dell DR Series system licensing is all-inclusive, so that no additional Dell licensing is required to use OST
or the optimized duplication capability. The Dell OST plug-in that gets installed on a supported Linux or Windows
media server platform is a free download from Dell. However, Symantec NetBackup requires that you purchase a
Symantec OpenStorage Disk Option license. Similarly, Symantec Backup Exec requires that you purchase the
Deduplication Option to enable the OST feature.
