I am in the process of installing a new W2K8 R2 AD domain controller (Server1) and a second W2K8 R2 server that will just have Exchange 2010 (Server2).

I am slightly confused by the Acronis licensing.

Do I purchase Backup & Recovery 11.5 for Microsoft Exchange Server and install that on Server1, but install the Exchange agent only on Server2? Will I be able to backup and recover Exchange on Server2 using the Acronis console on Server1?

-OR-

Do I have to purchase Backup & Recovery 11.5 for Windows Servers for Server1 and Backup & Recovery 11.5 for Microsoft Exchange Server for Server2?

Any advice gratefully received.

Console is like a terminal or web browser and for Advanced editions can be installed anywhere and is not licensed, i.e. doesn't not consume license that you purchase. Management Server (which often is referred to as a 'console' for unknown reasons) is not licensed too. The only licensed piece is the agent and it has to be installed on the same machine as Exchange itself. So,

You can install whatever components, which are not licensed, on Server1, but you can install Agent for Exchange and backup Server 2 only.

If you need to backup Server 1 than yes.
