Hello,

Can I install the VCB on a Linux physical machine so that it would act as my proxy?

TY

Ahmed

No, VCB requires Windows 2003 and above to be installed. There has never been a support on Linux .

thanks

As written before VCB framework works only on Windows.

You can use other solution, like VDR.
Or use vcbMount from your ESX.
