You can still use command line. You just need to install the BA Client from the Spectrum Protect for VE package. Choose "Advanced Installation" and then choose "Install the data mover feature only".

Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> Does this apply to command line VE restores as well? At DR, we typically just install a BA client and we have a script to perform mass VE restores from within it. Does this mean it would require the full VE install? -steve -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Del Hoobler Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2017 6:33 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] 8.1 Client Backup/Archive Backup/Archive discontinued in Virtual Environment?? What this means is that you can no longer just install the Backup/Archive client and run these commands. You have to have the license for Spectrum Protect for VE in order to execute VM backup and restore operations.
