Imaging solution for backup
I'm looking for an image solution to incorporate with out backup solution. What tool would you recommend for PC imaging to use it as potential restoration tool? I have some experience with Ghost but that's pretty much it. We're looking into using Carbonite for small clients but I don't think that it comes with any imaging tool.
Thank you for all you help!

Check out Acronis Deploy 4. Allows you to make an image of a workstation, to Flash Drive(USB) and restore. I use this to upgrade identical workstations from XP to Win7/8

To bring some more details to the discussion...
Ideally, I would take an image of the PC and store it in the cloud somewhere. On top of that, there would be the regular day-to-day backup of files. If disaster occurs, I would bring a new computer back up and running with that image and after that, bring files up to date with the regular backup. In a regular network, this would be pretty straight forward but I'm not sure how to approach this with clients that don't have a server where to store images. Is the cloud storage a solution?

Microsoft offers 10 gig of storage in One Drive. You could install One Drive on all pc's and have them save their documents to that. Fully stored on the cloud similar to dropbox but more storage.
For cloud storage of the images, don't think you'll find anything free

It doesn't have to be free. I'm just asking around for ideas from folks that have been working with this kind of technologies.
Thank you.
