Of the paid ones which one would be the most inexpensive? I just got a quote from Symantec backup exec for 3 years at around $1500. Is this a good price or can i do better with a different product? Thanks

Symantec is competitive so pick out the products (Symantec, Acronis) and look at the pricing.

Symantec is indeed competitive. &nbsp;As John suggests, compare the products features and the pricing. <br />
<br />
Backupexec is widely used as well. &nbsp;I believe they have an SBS edition.

What is the best way to backup my server completely inluding OU, Active Directory, Roles and Features in case of failure? I do see the Windows Server Backup solution but does that do a complete image? Any software solutions that are free or inexpensive? Any baremetal backup solutions? I am currently managing a server that is old with no backups and its scaring the begeezus out of me if it were to fail. Does windows Server backup provide incremental backups?
