from the compatibilty list the 2008 express is supported (experimental but supported) but agree with piroa if you are going to use it in a production enviroment you have to consider that is experimental.

That's Experimental support. It will work, but you shouldn't use it in a small production environment.

In this case I would install the 2005 and vcenter 4.1 u1 first that install veaam and sql 2008, in case rember that if you have a windows 2008 and sql 2008 you could have a a problem installing it..so just drop me a line in case.
