I'm not sure if we have any articles about this to be honest. However, you cannot install BESR/SSR on the ESX host itself so this really is the only way to backup ESX guest machines.

You need to install on each guest VM and back them up the same way you would any physical server.
Hope that helps.

You can use Backup exec or netbackup for your guest machines inside ESX server. This provides you full VM protection as well as you can restore indifidual files inside a VM. Full vm restore is as good as BESR or SSR.
