VMWare backup and replication for ESXi vSphere virtual machines to datastore or differential over IP. No agents, self capable, runs in the hypervisor host, ESXi 5.1, ESXi 5.5 & ESXi <=6.7 compatible, hot backups.
Consists in a cron programmable service running in the hypervisor. Hot backups, fully functional, standalone, ideal for dedicated servers.
...Because I hate it to start my Windows VM to manage ESX(i) servers ;o)
vEMan is (maybe) not needed if you use vCenter 5.x: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2005377
--> vSphere >= v5 has a "web client"
BUT keep in mind that there are caveats: Not all features are available in the web client AND it can connect to vCenters only (see: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1006095)
- ESX(i) v3.x or 4.x?
- v5.x - but no vCenter?
- you want a native Linux vSphere client?
Then try vEMan!
