Hello, I would suggest you review an excellent Tivoli Field Guide titled "Using IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Backup and Restore on the VMware Service Console" which is available on our support pages at below url :
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27009931 It discusses such backup approaches as "Using VCB Utilities for Backup of Virtual Disk Files" and "Direct Backup of Virtual Disk Files". Have a great day !
