Recovering the backup on another system

Hello Experts,

I need an information. We have a physical server running ESX 5.5i u2.  We have taken backup of it.  If the current server goes down , Is there any way to recover it on another server.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Avinash for the helpful information.

I think these steps for backup/recovery can used only in the same server. I want to backup one server and recover the configuration on another server. Please help me.

Thanks again.

Hi

I think You can not restore an ESXi host using a configuration file backed up from a different host.

Maybe you can try with this, http://www.shogan.co.uk/vmware/esxi-5-0-host-backup-restore-gui-utility-powercli-based/ i´ve never tried it.
