The newest edition of Trilead VM Explorer even has support for ESX 4i

Trilead VM Explorer is a management tool that eases management, backup and disaster recovery tasks in your VMware ESX Server environment. You get maximum flexibility: backups can be stored to ESX, Windows, Linux and FreeBSD based storage platforms or directly to a SAN. Their newest edition even has support for the ESX 3i & ESX 4i server.

Features

Support for ESX 3i & ESX 4i
VMX includes support for the next generation of ESX servers.
Multi-Server Management
The graphical user interface of VM Explorer allows to connect to multiple ESX, Linux and FreeBSD servers at the same time in the same interface.
Server to Server fast copy
Allows you to copy files directly (drag&drop) between ESX, Linux and FreeBSD servers at full speed: throughput is only limited by the available network/storage system bandwidth.
ESX to ESX/Windows/Linux/FreeBSD/SAN Backup & Restore
Our unique ESX to any backup feature allows to backup virtual machines to other ESX Servers, Linux or FreeBSD servers. Of course, virtual machines can also be stored to a SAN (ISCSI or NFS) directly attached to an ESX. Furthermore, backups can also be saved on the Windows machine where the VM Explorer is running.
File Browser
Browse instantly your ESX/Linux/FreeBSD servers' file system and copy files from one to the other just by drag & drop. Supports also up- and download to the management station.
Integrated SSH Client
The integrated SSH Terminal Client allows you to configure all your Unix/Linux based Servers trough SSH, all within one software.
Job Scheduler
The integrated job scheduler allows you to perform unattened, periodic backups of your virtual infrastructure.
Integrated ESX Snapshot Manager
Create and remove snapshots directly from within VMX.
Dynamic Compression
To make use of slow network links (e.g., for wide-area replication) or to save space on the target system, backups can be dynamically compressed.
