This answer is for Netbackup, please ask the BackupExec question the the BackupExec forum.
You can use virtual servers of Netbackup maser and media servers
See: DOCUMENTATION: Support for NetBackup 7.x in virtual environments
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH127089
However the use of tape in VMware virtualized environments is NOT supported. See page 5 in above document. Use can use MSDP, disk or OST devices in VM's.

Tape devices (Media Manager) are not supported on VMware - only Disk Storage.
This is not a NBU or BE problem - VMware limitation.
