Re: Full server backup/image

Acronis does a good job of imaging file servers.
I do not recommend their SQL or Exchange products.
The universal restore only works if you restore to same manufacture process=
or (intel-to-intel/amd-to-amd).

You can also virtualize with VMWare ESXi (free) then convert the physical m=
achine to a virtual host as a backup.

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 machin=
e with all the settings, configurations, etc. More like an image of the ha=
rd drive(s) so that it could be recreated should it be needed. Anyone do t=
his? Have suggestions for software/appliances/services? BTW, we currently=
back up data using a Barracuda appliance, but I haven't contacted them dir=
ectly yet to inquire about full server backup capabilities.


TIA!!
