Image Backup for Windows 2003 server
Hi,
We have two Windows 2003 servers;
1 has SQL running on it
1 has Terminal Services on it.
What image backup software would people recommend, keeping cost to a minimum.
We have acronis on our SBS 2008 box, but the 2003 server is expensive in my opinion....

I have had a look inot this a bit more and Acronis is only £549 per machine. Compared to others, it seems to be comparable.
The products I mentioned are better though, and you can probably get similar prices if you talk to a partner who sells the products.
I've used backup Exec, Acronis and Window backup. if money is a problem, Windows Backup should be a good solution. It's gotten better since the early days and there are more features now.

Yea I see your point about Storagecraft. It looks very slick and easy
- Can backup all your servers running.
- Create full backups to usb drive or other machine.
- Create an SQL export job before doing windows backup.
Consider recover time as another factor to choose backup software (on this case, reinstall OS and restore on machine).
