Copy host config to new ESXi server?

Hello,

We have a few 5.5 ESXi hosts and I will be introducing a new host soon and want to find an easy way to copy over the network configuration and storage to the new host.  We done have Enterprise Plus, just Enterprise so I can't use The Host Profiles option.

Is there another method?  Also this would be a nice way for me to backup our current hosts configurations.

Thanks
