I've got already good and tested solutions for
- backing up the configuration of my two ESXi systems
- backing up the virtual machines including the vSphere Appliance
But: Before updating or even upgrading the server itself (one is still running Version 5.1) I would really like to take a backup of the ESXi server itself!
Yes: I know, that a fresh installation is fast, but I don't have available the customised installation image.
--> Where do I find a procedure to take a full backup?
... and of course a procedure to restore?
