Imaging Software..
I'm looking for a software imaging tool that I can install that will update the latest files from my pc into a daily image. Something that runs in the background, daily, and pushes the image onto a file share or some sort. That way if my pc dies I know i can restore to it at least the previous day. No intervention is the key.
If you have a few PCs you want to do this with, look into Windows Home Server.
To be clear, Windows Home Server has a backup feature that "images" PCs after you install a small agent and can restore them from a boot disk.
Best is go for the shadow protect. It can take backup locally and also in network location. Also you can schedule it for as much as you need ( Even for 1 second delay into the two backups). It is also easy to restore and also file and folder level restore. you just need the software. you can download the trial version from the site.
Its very good software.

This will be implemented in a small business office, so we cant use home server.
Ghost or Acronis doesnt have this feature?

Why? You can use home server in a business - you just can't join it to the domain. You install it, install the agent on the workstations you want to backup and you're done. Cost per station (especially if you backup 8-10 stations) is often LESS than Symantec, Ghost, or Shadow Protect).
I know several consultants who use home server (or multiple home servers if they have more than 10 stations) to provide workstation backup).

Check the below link, Storage Craft support Home servers as well. You have to use the Server Edition of ShadowProtect. See the below link.
