Quick easy way to backup ESXi config?

[Shad]

Can anyone recommend a quick and easy (and free) way to backup my ESXi 5.1 config so that I can re-install on a smaller USB stick and restore all the settings? It would also be useful to put something in place for disaster recovery (e.g. if the USB stick fails).

Be gentle, still a bit of a n00b at this

Cheers!

It's really only for the host, the VMs are ok. I'll give it a go, installing fresh on a new USB stick and see what happens. I'm guessing it will find/see the existing VMFS and the VMs on it, or will I need to import things?
