Yes, vSphere vCenter 4.0 is a requirement for vDR and will be required. Take a look at the comparison chart of the various editions:

Essential plus looks like the way to go or you can use advanced or greater if you need other features.

You can also purchase vDR separately as an a la carte item, take a look at how to buy for vDR: http://www.vmware.com/products/data-recovery/buy.html

"VMware vSphere 4 Essentials Plus" in my case should be the right one.

Hi All,

From: http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere/buy/editions_comparison.html does that mean, in order to do backup and resotration using VCB i need to go with at least Essentials Plus ?

Kind Regards,
