If you want to use VMware's VCB backups you will have to have a Windows server.

Where I am we have virtualised 95% of our server infrastructure (which is small 
mind - only about 25 virtualised servers on 3 VI3.5 U3 hosts running in a Sun 
B8000 blade chassis), and we use NetBackup 6.0MP4 on a standalone server 
running RHEL 4 (64bit) and use a combination of netbackup clients to backup VI 
hosts and its guests and vmbk to do weekly 'snapshot' backups of the guests too.

And it all works just fine.
