I have Dell server with Raid array 5 config. The server run as a W2K Terminal Server, no Citrix. I would like to clone and or backup this server to other Dell with same model and hardware specification. Is there any software/procedure solution for my purpose ?
Thanks in advance.

Much truly depends on what your goal is.

Are you trying to attempt load balancing of some sort (spreading the workload among multiple servers)?

Are you trying to move the installation from one machine to another (one is broke or dying and you want to move to a new computer before it totally fails)?

Are you just trying to create another machine as a "hot backup" should the first one fail (provide some measure of "fault tolerance")?

While any of these goals is "do-able", each may involve a slightly different implementation.

I am sorry for not clarify further. I want to use it as a NLB among the server. I already created an idea configuration on one of the server. Now, I want to clone it to all other servers(they are same physical specification). I realized that I have to minor change the NLB priority after the clone and SID walkthru. I also would like to use the cloning software as a system backup. I would prefer saving the image to the CD or some place on the network. Thanks
