Installing backup exec on the same machine as the VCenter

[deevoid]

Hello,

I buy symantec backup exec VRay and I will now install it on my LAB.

As I read on forum, it's better to install backup exec on a physical server. I have only three serveur :

- 1 ESX

- 1 windows 2k8r2 for the monitoring (prtg) : very old server

- 1 windows 2k8r2 with VCenter 5.5

Is that possible to install the Backup exec on the server running VCenter ?

Thank in advance
