VMware ESX and Acronis True Image Recommendations

We are running 2 VMware ESX servers. We want to do hot backups of individual vm's.

Acronis True Image for Linux?
- Is there a GUI for standard Linux (not X Windows)
- Can I backup via smb?

Acronis True Image Enterprise?
- Will the Linux agent allow me to do disk imaging as well as file level backup?

Thanx!

Thanx for the reply!

Two more questions (since I can't find the answers myself)...

1) Does True Image for Linux do "hot" backups?

2) Does True Image for Linux do scheduling?

Thanx again!
