Has anyone tried the new vspere VADP (vstorage API's for Data Protection) backup feature which is replacing the VCB with Netbackup. We are backing up VM's traditional way by using the agent on each host. Now have started looking into option of backing up the Virtual servers using the ESX Hosts. Would anyone know the licensing cost and what's involved in backing up VMware environment using this new feature.

When using NetBackup for VMware, you purchase an "Enterprise Client" license for each ESX host protected. In other words, license the physical host, not the VMs.
The minimum VMware requirements for vStorage API support is ESX 3.5 U2 and/or vCenter 2.5.
