backup esxI4 with vicfg-cfgbackup

[mdisk]

Hello
I am trying to back up an esxi4.0 host configuration with the vicfg-cfgbackup.pl
I have a vcenter server so when I run the command

vicfg-cfgbackup.pl –save –server 192.168.1.9 –username root –password **** backup.bak
I get error massage:
*vihost option must be specified when connecting to Virtual Center

What is the correct syntax to run the backup job from VC
VC IP:192.168.1.227
Host IP:192.168.1.9

Thanks

Mdisk

vicfg-cfgbackup.pl –save –server 192.168.1.9 –username root –password **** backup.bak

Try

vicfg-cfgbackup.pl --server 192.168.1.9 --username root --password **** -s backup.bak

except for the -s all the others are -- (double dashes)

[mdisk]

Thanks
