If you have the money, evaluate PowerQuest's V2i Protector Server
Edition,
http://www.powerquest.com/v2i/protector/server/. From that
site:
Highlights
Backup
Backup and protect Windows 2003, Windows 2000, and Windows NT servers.
Capture periodic full or incremental backups of system and data storage
volumes.
Create backups without interrupting data access or application usage.
Encapsulates ALL files, configurations, drivers, and system
personalities in one easy to manage backup file.
Recovery
Recover bare metal systems in minutes.
Quickly roll systems back to any incremental point-in-time backup.
Mount backup image files as read-only drives which can be shared and
accessed by others for easy data access.
Browse and recover files directly from any point in time backup image
file.
I tested the bare metal recovery and it appeared to work just fine.
One word of caution: I have found their tech support to be a bit of a
letdown, but this was on their CONSUMER products. I have no experience
with their corporate tech support.
Finally, I have no affiliation with PowerQuest.
