How do I replicate one server to another in case one goes down.

There has been a lot of talk about software or services that will take images of a server and duplicate the data in the event of a failure. Then when something happens the one server crashes the other server automatically spins up and is completely replicated. Now I know that you can have exchange replicating within the organization and have DFS but this is not what I am referring too. I am referring to Double Take or Storage Craft. I would like to know what is out there that users are using. Have any of you used one of these solutions and liked it. I have heard that double take is not the best.

The primary questions is what software / service / server combo is out there to constantly be duplicating my server in the event of a failure, and which is the most automated.

All answers were a little more vague then I would have hoped.
Patrick,

I'm sorry to hear that you feel the answers were too vague, but actually in the answers of wynandkunkel and SelfGovern, there were some questions for you. As soon as you would have replied to them, they would also know better in which direction you seek to go. In other words, it is an interactive process.

It depends very much on your scale of budget which solutions would be advisable.

I think there is still time to discuss more if you feel the need.
