Making an image of a VMWare Client
I have a VMWare ESXi host with 3 clients, one of the hard drive failed and I don't want to lose any data. How can I make an image of each server? Would snapshots be enough? Can I copy the snapshots to an external drive so I won't lose the images if the system goes down?
Thanks
Thanks

You just import the OVF and select a datastore, and after import the VM is ready to start.

If I create an OVF file, and I create a new VM Machine on a different server, can I restore the file there? Do I have to specify the datastore then?
Thanks
