I think consolidated backup is also available for 3.x (I'm pretty sure).

For backup of the vmdk files, I adapted my custom script for ESC 2.x to 3.x
(in stead of redo logs you have to snapshot) so I can online backup the vmdk
files.  Works flawless.
For a all-in-one backup script, google for vmbk.
