| Their seems to be ALOT of software related to disk cloning or imaging for use as a backup software. I need some input from users that are happy with the disk cloning software they use to help me pick a disk imaging software. I have a few databases using SQL 05 and Windows Server 2003 that need to be backed up and I'd rather have as close to a plug and play operation as I can if the hard drive decideds to go into the crapper for whatever reason. |

| Using SQL Server backups and transaction log backups should always be your first choice for database backups.If you don't make SQL Server backups first, disk clones will do you very little good.CODO ERGO SUM |

| Agree. You can use those tools for DR purpose but still need backup. |
