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.

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!!
