Mounting NAS device onto ESXi 5.1 host/copy VMs

Hi,

I want to do two general things:

1. NFS-mount a newly purchased (and formatted) NAS backup device (ex. IP 192.168.1.10) onto an ESXi 5.1 host (ex IP 192.168.1.5).

2. Copy powered-down VMs (by host command line) to/from the host to the backup device to test backup and replication.

Are these something that is documented?

Thanks.
