Imaging software for Windows 2K/2003 Server?

[eyespi]

Hi everyone,

I am looking for advice on what software package to purchase for creating images of our win2k/2k3 servers. Can anyone point me in the right direction for an easy to use package?

Thanks

I've never really found a good image maker for servers. Best bet, back up you're registry, make frequent boot disks and make sure you're data is backed up. Good luck.

Ghost isn't officially supported (at least it didn't used to be), but I've been using it to image servers for 8 years and it's worked well for me.

Does Ghost supports disk imaging of server 2K/2003 to external USB hard disk?
