backup exe 2010 and VMWARE 3.0x

[hostmaster1]

Is there a white paper or some technical information on setting up 2010 to an ESX 3.02 farm with out the VCB?

Hi,

Take a look at the Backup Exec Admin guide here...

You can also take a look at the Best Practices Guide for VMware here...

Thanks for that but that document is very simple and only mentions ESX 4.0

Backup Exec 2010 does not support ESX 3.02.  It only support ESX 3.5 Update 2 or higher.

Please review the Software Compatibility List for all the supported version of ESX (vSphere)

I was searching for backup ideas for my ESX farm and came across this post.  Using the link that CraigV provided along with the link below I had all of the information i needed to get things set up.
