Netbackup 6.0 and VCB is it supported?

[skarve]

Hello All,
   I am going to propose Netbackup with VCB configuration for one of the customer. They currently have Netbackup 6.0 installed with MP6. I have been checking compatibility list and find none which mention that Netbackup 6.0 suports VCB. Can anyone please help me answer whether Netbackup 6.0 MP6 can use VCB to backup the virtual machines?

Thanks for all the help in advance!

From the other viewpoint:

VCB 1.03 is noted as supporting NetBackup 6.0.

I think they used a integration module on the proxy.

This is newer backup integration guide

Here is the VIOPS guide

Thanks Mate!
    But this would mean I cannot use the 6.5 GUI interface to do this integration and will have to implment scripting for this deployment. Well I am not sure the customer would be happy about this and hence I think I will propose 6.5 upgrade for this.


Thanks a ton!
