If you are using ESX you have to install the Linux client to backup the
VM image without stopping the OS. We also backup the VM OS with its own
client so if there is a problem we can restore one file or the whole OS.

Last I checked, you need only one per TYPE of OS, so if you have one
Win2K3 server VMs, you are required to have only one license for the
ten.  So there is a cost, but it may not quite as insane as you think.
