No  ESXi doesn’t have a service console in the way you think it does,  only full blown esx could be managed in this way.  What I would do is backup a vm  on the esxi  and have it  have pre script that does a download for the esxi configuration and puts it into say /opt/esxi-<hostname>-configs/ or something similar.

Will that really work on an ESXi Server?

I have used an RPM for RHEL3:

bacula-client-2.4.4-1.el3.i386.rpm

You need to modify or disable VMware firewall.
