Vcenter Version Compatibility LIST

Is there a compatibility list for Vmware VCENTER Versions with Netbackup?

I find compatibililty lists with vsphere hosts versions but this is not the same thing.

Does the vcenter version compatibility not matter and the vsphere host version is all that is required?
