I would like to know, if possible to install Vcenter and VCB on the same Serveur Windows or it's not recommanded?

Thanks

vCenter and VCB share some components, so this is not recommended. If you only have one physical machine, I'd configure that with VCB, and use VC in a virtual machine. You can run VCB in a vm as well, but then you don't get the san connectivity that you get when VCB is physical. Only NBD method (network based disk copy) works with vcb in a vm.
