These two products play in a different class. The competitor to Virtual Server is VMware Server. Things might change when Windows Server Virtualization (Veridian) comes out next year.

I also beleive that even ESX 2.5 was able to do scripted snapshots and offload the snapshot to another server so the vmdk files can then be backed up off of the ESX server itself. If you go on VMware Knowledge Base and look up scripted snapshots I think you can find it there.
