It is one of the privilege of vm admin.Is this can be done by any powercli command or by using privilege id?

Do you want to run a vdisk backup ?

That privilege was there primarily for VCB, a backup tool that is not offered anymore in vSphere 5.*

You should use something like VDR or a 3th party product to backup your VMs.

Just a small correction to the above.. Should use VDP not VDR as VDR is not compatiable with vSphere 5.1

Thanks for the correction.

Indeed from vSphere 5.1 that should be VDP.
