Thanks Tom and Linjo.
I will read up on the replication tool ASAP. So far it sounds like a great solution.
Tom, I have experience using RSYNC on Netgear devices via SSL from a command line. It copies from the Netgear device to a remote location in another sate.
So you could be correct if it's any more complex than that.
I'll also look over the instructions from Fillips.
One thing of note is that the remote host is not part of a Vcenter instance. It is an independent ESXi installation managed only through the Vsphere client.
