All of a the vm's are living on a iscsi lun and are being backup via other means &nbsp;{ndmp backup/etc} &nbsp; The only thing that I am not backing up at the moment is the actual esx host configs. &nbsp;Up till now the configuration has been fairly simple. &nbsp;We have added a number of vlan's / mounted extra luns /etc. &nbsp; &nbsp;The script that is listed on Jase's place might do what I would like to do. &nbsp;Since I already have a few luns mounted on the box I should be to save the configs to there. &nbsp;I'll give this a try in the morning :) &nbsp;Thanks.<br />

Hello..<br />
<br />
I was wondering what options do I have to backup an esx 3.5i server configurations? &nbsp; I have looked around and I really have not found anything as of yet. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I know I can rebuild the server fairly quickly...but our setups are getting more and more involed and it would be nice if I could just restore the configurations afterwards. &nbsp; &nbsp; Any info would be helpful. &nbsp;Thanks.<br />

Vmware ESX 3.5i configuration backup

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
