VMWare vCenter product questions

What are the differences between Virtual Center Server and vSphere 4/VI3 Enterprise (vSphere 5/VI4 if there is such a thing)? If I buy Virtual Center Server, what else do I need to buy?

I want to a VM platform where I can backup my virtual machines onto local external drive and/or replicate/clone the virtual machines to another physical machines.

Thanks for the advice in advance.

vCenter is used to manage your ESX(i) Hosts

vSphere 4/VI3 Enterprise are marketing terms
