Usage:

Edit esxibkp.bat and put in esxihost, username, password and path-to-backupstorage.

run: esxibkp vmname

If you want to backup multiple VMs in one script, make a new bat-file. and type:

call esxibkp.bat vmname1

call esxibkp.bat vmname2

and so on…

Note1: Use these scripts with care, and dont blame me if they fuck something up

Note2: The script does not support vm-names with spaces. I use vmname.domain.tld
