I have read a lot of threads here, but nothing seems to deal with what we are trying to do. We like the idea of a disk image so we can just swap a disk if there is a failure and are ready to run.
We are a small company and use SBS2003 mainly for Exchange and SharePoint – for internal company use only. We don’t need to capture an “online” image, but would be happy to capture an “off-line” image (we have no problem being without the server running for a couple of hours over the weekend).
However, the $700 price tag on most server imaging softwares is a little steeper than what we can budget right now – and with more capabilities than what we need. I shudder when I hear guys talk about $50k backup services – we aren’t quite that large yet.
Does anyone know of an inexpensive or free software that will image as I have described?
Thanks,
Kevin
