Backup Ubuntu 12TB & do file level, point-in-time recovery

So, we've got Esxi 5.0 on a host, running a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS VM, which has 12TB of storage in ext4 and or ext3 file systems.

We want to do backups, not over the 1Gbe network but something faster (SAS/FC) to tape or disk, using the Vmware APIs.

And we need to do file-level recover at a point in time; e.g., user needs to recover File X as of a week ago last Thursday.  I'm thinking about monthly full backups and nightly incremental.

EMC networker won't do it, doesn't support Ubuntu for file recovery.

Would prefer to license some software for all the Esx host.

Anyone have any suggestions?
