You have a lot of solutions:

- VCB (but old version are only for SAN transport)

- GhettoVCB

- SCP/FastSCP (but you have to play with scripting)

- Commercial solutions: Veeam / Vizioncore / esXpress ...

Cause you have a old system be sure of software compatibility!

I manage to backup all my files.If i want to restore them back in the same esx or in another is it correct to paste them back to any datastore and just add to inventory the vmx?
