Backup Dedicated Server

[incron]

Guys

I have a dedicated Svr running Svr 2003 (it is located out of State) is there any tool that allows a image or some type of disk-wide backup of the Svr. it would take me about 90 days to set all that stuff back up again.

Any Ideas...??

There are lots of products that do server imaging. Older versions of Ghost work just fine too for Server 2003, but they need to be done OFFLINE.

Acronis for servers, Backup Exec etc., etc., etc., etc. Did you not Google this question first?? Or were you looking for a freebie?

Thanks for the quick reply - I cant do this offline - is there a way to do it while the Svr is running..??

Did you check out any of the products that I had mentioned? There are many others.

Regardless of backup strategy, since you are physically removed from the server, you should establish a local contact that can put the pieces back together or otherwise troubleshoot an issue where the server is offline IN ADVANCE of needing them. You won't be able to get there fast enough nor will you be able to look through the yellow pages quickly enough to get someone out there. Plan ahead.
