Hello, I am making a Contingency Site for a customers. That site will have one or two virtual machine, won't be a big deployment. I have some questions:
1) If I have a Tape Medioa with a backup's Virtual Machine, Is possible to make a restore (only restore) of a VM VMWare without Backup Exec?
2) Is possible virtualize a BackupExec Server on VMWare?
3) Can I read from Windows Server a Tape Media written by BackupExec?
4) Is possible restore a VM in the same host that the Virtual BackupExec server is running?
Thanks a lot...

1) Yes, you will require BE to restore a complete VM.
2) Running BE inside a VM is not recommended, and has some limitations, see http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH130609
3) Since Windows 2008 the Microsoft Backup program in Windows does not support a tape device anymore.
4)Yes, but again, running BE inside a VM is limited supported.
