OVF OSX client ESXi5 host using for backup

$

Hi, I'm trying to understand how I would backup my ESXi5 VM using OVF command tool because when I login using VSphere it seems to keep breaking even when it's such a small VM (under 30GB) since I only have a Windows VM which I think is causing problems in terms of resources.

 

So I installed OVF 2.0 and I'm looking at this example:

 

ovftool vi://username:password@vCenter1/Datacenter1/vm/SourceVM OVF.ovf

 

so ovftool vi username password is all straight forward.

 

vCenter1 ? that would be the IP address of the server? 192.168.1.100?

 

Than Datacenter1 is the Storage device and where it's located?

 

How do I stroll around with OVF to find out those parameters using the OVF tool? Or am I best to figure it out using the vSphere app?

 

Thanks in advance,

Aaron.
