ESXi Host Backup

vicfg-cfgbackup command is used to take the backup of the esxi host configuration data. Can i consider host profile as the alternative method to take the esxi host backup? Or these are totally different??????????

In my understading "Host Profile is just like ghosted imagae which is used to configure other host in quick time and to make sure all the host are compliant as per the standard.

So I dont think so we have treat this is a backup copy..

Let see what other has to say on this..
