Stan - Yes, to backup a vm with VCB you need the nw client installed on
the vm. :\

The VCB server itself is "the middle-man" used to backup VM's over the
san to networker using vmware's legato integration module. You most
certainly can backup an ESX server itself, however you cannot backup the
VM's that way (to my knowledge).

The VCB software get's installed on whatever machine you designated as
the proxy server for vcb - some apparently use their nw server, others
like us use a separate system.

I think it was, but don't quote me on that. ;) 

If you want some help with VCB , I have a word doc that I've started
that outlines the process using NW / vcb /esx etc etc...
