Hi Timothy, What do you want to do? Backup Full-VM's (.VMDK files), or do a file backup of the VM's. In the Windows Client Guide (6.1/6.2) there is a chapter on how to backup this using a proxy node. It is not advisable anymore to install a Linux client in ESX because in the near future the service console of vSphere will be gone as are the VCB-tools. Met vriendelijke groet, with kind regards, Richard van Denzel.
