is not possible to make native vmware backup in blocklevel ?, or is 
file level backup needed ?

same here, i know virtualbox can make blocklevel backup and its really 
more usefull if imho to make it that way

> rsync -avx /home/. /backups/home

this would make a tarball instaed ?

its possible to make filelevel backups to nas disks like qnap i have 
here with have rsync client/server, but if you more liked to migrade to 
another vmware/virtualbox then rsync is not the best option for backups
