Machine imaging software.

[Davie_GLA]

As above really, i have the need to rebuild a server very regularly, and i'm getting bored of doing it all manually.

is there anything out there, preferably free that will do this for me? And allow me to restore it to as when it was imaged?

If it was for more than one machine i'd buy something, but i'm not sure i could justify it.

so, has anyone used anything thats effective?

Thanks,

David.

Clonezilla is quite good and flexible - lets you back up to a removable hard drive, network shares, etc.

Free too, but not especially user friendly.

I think MS ImageX is free and may do what you need. I've used a couple of times. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc72214...

Just realised i put this in the wrong section - mods?

thanks for the suggestions - clonezilla looks OK, MS one seems to require more.
