Installing rsync on Vmware ESX 3 with minimum impact

Installing rsync on Vmware ESX 3.5 with minimum impact

I need rsync to run a backup from my virtual machines. Rsync is not installed on Vmware ESX 3 and I wanted to install only the binaryfile rsync if possible.

I compile rsync from sources and transfer the file to my ESX server

me@home$ wget http://samba.anu.edu.au/ftp/rsync/src/rsync-3.0.7.tar.gz
me@home$ tar -xzvf rsync-*.tar.gz
me@home$ cd rsync-3.0.7
me@home$ ./configure
me@home$ make
me@home$ scp ./rsync root@esx:/root/bin/
