The FD could run on any server you had available - a vSphere server, a
backup server, whatever, so long as it had access to the ESX servers
and/or the LUNs your VMs are on if they're on a SAN. VADP can apparently
back up either direct from the SAN or through the ESX(i) host.

But for those transitioning from VCB, they would have a proxy host
running anyway, so if there was a simple program to replace vcbMounter
and similarly be called by a RunBeforeJob, it would be an easy
transition. But I'm not aware that such a thing currently exists.

Thanks for your thoughts,

Craig
