Backup/Snapshot solutions for ESXi

[pmatthaei]

Hello,

I am currently searching for backup solutions (about snapshots) for the free ESXi 4 server.

The backup solution itself also could cost some euros (max. 200 € per server/virtual machine).

The best would be, if we can run it as e.g. a cronjob on remote Linux server.

We already tried out Trilead VMX, but it only runs on windows 😕

You can try ghettoVCB at http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-8760 (sharing an nfs on your linux maybe an option).
