Hi all, 
I have a HP Proliant ML350 G3 server with a HP Smart Array 641 contoller and an internal HP Storageworks Ultrium 460 tape drive. 
 
My server is running Windows 2003 Server Std edition SP2. 
 
I have 3 drives (in a raid 5 config) partitioned into C: = system drive (OS) and D: = data partition. 
 
I would like to take an image of the OS (with current settings/config) I am not too concerned about the Data partition for the image. 
 
Can this be done through HP OBDR (One Button Disaster Recovery)? If so my questions are as follows: 
 
1) Do I need specific backup software to use OBDR? - currently use good old 'NT Backup' to perform backups of the Data Partition. 
 
2) Does anyone use the OBDR utility and is it an enterprise solution?? 
 
&nbsp;Once I have backed up / imaged the OS I will restore the image to a fresh set of disks to disks to test the integrity of the retore - therfore my contingency plan is that I have the original disks that make up the current disk array (labelled - &nbsp;so that I can recreate the original setup if the restore is not integrable).

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

An embedded system is a computer system with a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electrical system, often with real-time computing constraints. Examples of properties typical of embedded computers when compared with general-purpose ones are low power consumption, small size, rugged operating ranges, and low per-unit cost. Modern embedded systems are often based on microcontrollers; the processor(s) used may be types ranging from general purpose to those specialised in certain class of computations, or even custom designed for the application at hand. A common standard class of dedicated processors is the digital signal processor (DSP).

Disaster Recovery is the planning for and creation of policies and procedures related to the resumption or continuation of an organization's functions following a catastrophic event. The term is most frequently used in relation to failure of networks, but DR preparations also include other business systems and personnel considerations.
