Hi,

I have a Dell PowerEdge 2950 with six 450GB SAS discs forming a RAID
10 array of 1.2 TB. I'm running Windows Server 2003 R2 with SP1.

I need some software that will create an image of the system on an
external disc that I can later use for complete system recovery. I've
found Acronis True Image Echo Server for Windows. It's ~$600 and seems
like it might do what I need.

I'm not very price sensitive, but if I can get something that will do
basically the same thing for less, I'd like to consider it.

Do you know of any other software I should consider?

What if I added the need to make incremental backups to this
requirement? Would that push me to a different piece of software that
can do both image backups and incremental backups?

Thanks for your help!
John

Acronis True Image is good. Altiris Recovery Solution is also good and is
standard on many PC's. There's a version for servers.
Both will do a full image plus incremental backups.
