Need program to image server hard drive

Tags: Microsoft, Server, 2003, Image hard drive
Hello,
What is a cost effective program to image the hard drive on my Windows 2003 server? I was going to use my Acronis software but since it is a server it wants me to upgrade. So, before I purchse the upgrade I would like some advice for the cheapest and safest software to use to image my 2003 server.

The reason I want to image my hard drive is because I need to make changes to my current configuration and I want to make sure I can do a complete restore just in case I mess it up. My goal is to place multiple test images (not vm immages) onto a partition so that I have different configurations or starting points to work from.

Thank you,
John
