I'd like to be able to create snapshots of the VMs on my VMware ESXi 5 server, which can be saved on external network storage. The solution should be free.
I already found Trilead VM Explorer, but the free version only works on the local machine.

VEEAM also provides a free solution to backup VMWare ESXi 5 server on an external storage. They call it VEEAM Backup free edition.

1VEEAM Backup and Recovery 6.1 is not compatible with ESX 5 and B&R 6.5 doesn't work on ESXi free versions – None – 2012-12-04T22:26:44.573
1Please look for Veeam Backup Free Edition for VMware and Hyper-V new 6.5 from their website. If you click on Product overview, you will see a PDF that lists supported Hosts environments: • ESXi 3.5–5.1 • ESX 3.5 and 4.x – Manoj Agarwal – 2012-12-05T05:35:07.327

There is VMware Data Recovery 2.0.2 which works just fine. The only problem is that is works only with 5.0, but not 5.1 and 5.5.

i've already searched. found link, but the free edition backups the VMs on the local machine. i'm looking for something which works with the storage (if there's anything free)
