Thanks, will try Clonezilla.<br />
BTW, we're taking the image from an ESXi vm - which will be moved to s physical server.<br />
Any considerations regarding the storage controller driver??

VMware converter supports V2P ?<br />
Which configuration should be on the Physical server?? Currently it's a fresh (empty) RAID-1 conf with nothing on!

Ah, you want to go from V to P.<br />
<br />
No VMware Converter does not support this.<br />
<br />
You will need to restore the image, and then run a repair on the server, if the storage controller is different.

Guys, we really need your help ASAP here.<br />
We've tried imaging the server but since the copying speeds were too slow (~10MB/s), we've decided to take the 2x SATA disks with the RAID-1 - and offcourse it start resyncing the drives - but than the main drive has crashed!!<br />
<br />
What's the tools available to recover a sata disk with VMFS file system?<br />
The RAID partner does not boot - probably because it's partly sycnched (0% before failure).<br />
<br />
What can we do? It's our main customer's SBS2k11 - and it's not being backup!!<br />
<br />
Please assist

Imaging a Dell R210 (H200 controller)?

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

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.
