I have a file server that is running out of storage space and I attempted to make an image of the server (power edge 2850) using the ghost with a windows virtual boot CD but it was not able to see the hard drive (virtual drive c) in the server. I would like someone to recommend an imaging software that they know for sure works in imaging virtual disk (Raid 5). It would be great if it is a free product too.

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.
