manuals?

Why don't you start with reading a manuals for the same??
All are available here http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/326269.htm - I hope you are using NBU 6.5
I would start with this one: Veritas NetBackup™ for VMware Administrator's Guide, version 6.5.4

As quebek said, you really do

As quebek said, you really do need to read the manuals.  There is a lot going on here.  Also, what version of VMware and Netbackup?

This is a really good read from George Winter.  Start here:

Not an easy job

There 7 main things you will need:

1. A physical box
2. Install VMware Backup Proxy
3. Install VMware Consolidated Backup
4. Install Netbackup Media Server Software
5. Configure a Disk Staging Storage Unit under the Media Server
6. Under the GUI on Credentials you need to Add the ESX box and add the proper user name and passwords
7. Create a VMware policy using the DSSU and in that DSSU configure a STU to push the data to tape

Sure there are a lot of details here, but is what you will need to accomplish in order to get the proper architecture, if you need more info about VCB go to www.vmware.com and look for the backup pdf there you will get a lot of more details.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
