Backup ESXi to local USB Hard Disk

Hi VMWare community,

I want to backup my Virtual Machines to a local USB Hard Disk on an ESXi 6.7, my license is VMware vSphere 6 Essentials. Previously our VMware server was installed on Microsoft Windows and we accomplish this on Veeam, but now I don't know if we can do that locally on ESXi.

Is it possible to make those backups to an external USB Hard Disk using ESXi 6.7 server?

Thank you very much!
