Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Platforms do not require a RAWS License, but RAWS must be installed on the machines to be able to fully back them up. Windows Vista Machines require that RAWS be installed on them and a RAWS License for each Vista Machine being backed up.


Note: To protect a computer running Windows XP Home, the Backup Exec Remote Agent must be installed locally (Silent Mode) to the Windows XP Home computer. It cannot be push-installed to the Windows XP Home computer and the push install may also fail on XP Pro because of security/firewall settings. The procedure for the Silent Mode installation of the Remote Agent is given in the Related Documents section. The Windows XP workstation must be part of a domain, or guest-level share access must be disabled. Please refer to the Related Documents section for more information regarding Windows XP and disabling of force guest (guest-level share access).
