sorry about the long title!
I have a windows server 2003. I want to a cheap backup software that will save every single thing in the machine: files, regsitry, user accounts & settings, down to the single byte! I prefer to have dvd storages at the end to restore from. I don’t want to even have to worry about Admin setup or rerun software installations or anything like that.
So, if the server crashes totally, I will be able to bring it back to exact mirror of how it was before it crashed.
I want to be able to insert dvd and reboot to get everything back.
Does the Backup utility on server 2003 do that? If not, does a software like this exist?? If not, what is the next closest thing?
thanks!
On Request, I repost my comment as an answer:
Look at Clonezilla – this is the physical equivalent of a Snapshot in virtual world.
