Hi
I have 2 ESXI host configured with VSPhere HA and managing with VCenter!
I have image backup of vCenter and can restore without any problem!
I would like to configuration or image backup of ESXI both host. Please advise how to do that.

I found the below articles and install the vSphere CLI but unable to execute as discussed.
i am confused by many of the forum that PowerCLI should install on vCenter Windows Server to execute.
I have vCenter Appliance, I have installed vSphere CLI on my PC and run the backup from my system. Please advise or provide best practice to taken the backup.
Regards
ESXi configuration is typically not backed up (it is not even supported), I would advise to focus on automated configuration of ESXi instead, I suspect the number of settings you set is rather lower. Considering it is just 2 hosts, you could also simply document the settings on paper if you are not overly comfortable with powercli.
You don’t normally backup esxi config. The closet thing to what you are alluding at would be host profiles.
Hi Thanks to all of you who have shared experience.
Please advise how below commands are helpful ! what have taken in bundle ? how could be helpful if system is crash and use this backup to restore.
