I have a single w2k3 server. I want good online backup solution... What would be best? Were looking at back up 25gigs or so. Should The server be imaged? Can the offsite backup company do that?

I just want to quit using NTbackup... I also want to have another company handle all the backups. So if I lose the server I can replace the HD or the entire server it self and have it be restored automatically... Is this possible?

For offsite backups of undetermined size I suggest Carbonite.com for $50 per year. Its a no brainer.

Just make sure that you have a local backup just in case your building burns to the ground or you have a flood, because you'll have to reload your OS and then download all of your data. For that I use Acronis which is expensive or XXclone for free at http://www.xxclone.com

Is this safe for the production line environment? This is the only and the main server...

Also, does this make an image? Or copy all the files?

So it does image, kind of. I guess I can give it a try... I would really like to know if any one else has tried this on their server or if I am going to be the ginny pig...

Also should I do my NTbackups with this just in case?

These are the solutions that I use every day for all of my clients and there has never been a glitch.
