2003 - Restore/Backup Partition
Hi,
I have one desktop with Windows 2003 installed. I have to restore it every week to the first installion. With XP I used Northon Ghost, works perfectly. Create image, restore etc in Windows. But now i have installed Windows 2003. I need some software that i can create an image of the running partition, and restore that image on the running partition too. Most of the Backup/Restore packages are not able to install on 2003. I have tried things like Acronis Workstation ( Not able to install on 2003 ) / Active Disk Image ( not able to restore image on running partition ) / Symantec Ghost 14 ( Not able to install on 2003 ). Acronis does have a version for 2003, but its very expensive. Maybe you know a anoter solution thats more cheaper?

why don't you set up your windows 2003 server as a virtual server on your desktop (using virtual pc/server, VMware, ...)? Then you just have to copy a single file to restore the server in its initial condition.

Virtual server is not fast enough :) Its for testing / training a BPMS software package.
Back Up Exec System Recovery Server Edition is expensive, but maybe a good solution. If someone knows software thats cheaper, let me know.
