Difference between VCB and VDP

Hi Experts,

I would need your help and advice to understand on one scenario which we are planning to do it soon.kindly find the query below.

we are using ESX 4.1 planning to upgrade into 5.5. as well as Vcenter also.we are using tsm 6.2.2 client to move the backup into tape.

right now the backup comes into local server disk then it picup and move the data into tape. Tsm understand vcb as of now.

My question is when we do the upgrade after upgrading the backup will start coming in the form of vdp in the storage only.(That's what i read somewhere in the blog)

if it happened then tsm version which we are using it doesn't understand vdp so what is the best practice to plan for a backup through TSM only.

I wanted to know the difference also between VCB and VDP.

I am new for VMware and TSM also please do let me know if any other clarification is required from my side.

Regards

Prem
