Re: Full server backup/image

I am not an expert, but isn't that what RAID is for? It creates an
ongoing mirror of the server, so if one crashes, you just switch over?
I have never had to use it, but that is my understanding.

Subject: Full server backup/image

Hi all,

After having my email server crash last week, I realized that just
backing up data isn't enough - I really need to have a back up of the
actual machine with all the settings, configurations, etc. More like an
image of the hard drive(s) so that it could be recreated should it be
needed. Anyone do this? Have suggestions for
software/appliances/services? BTW, we currently back up data using a
Barracuda appliance, but I haven't contacted them directly yet to
inquire about full server backup capabilities.

TIA!!
