VMware vSphere Client download

[gciscol]

Hi I want to backup VM and restore it in Esxi host v6.7. Do you think "VMware vSphere Client" is a good tool? I cannot find its website to download it. Anyone can help provide the link for download? Thank you

This version no longer uses client.
Have you tried Veeam yet?
If you want to access an ESXi, this can be done via a browser, pointing to its IP.

You can use WinSCP to backup a VM folder on an ESXi host. Here are the steps:

1. Power off the VM
2. Download and run WinSCP.
3. Select SCP as the protocol, enter the ESXi host IP and click connect. Login as root when prompted
4. Browse to /vmfs/volumes/Datastore_name
5. Now you can copy the VM folder in its entirely to a disk on your local machine.
6. Once done, you can copy it back to any ESXi host using the same method.
7. Once copied back, you can re-import it into the inventory
