Saw another thread in here that reminded me of this.

Has anybody used Norton Ghost to auto backup their server to another server or drive on the server?

I recently bought the software for personal use, but was wondering if there is a server version of it, or if the same software works on Windows servers.

Thanks.

Yes, but not since version 6. You couldn't use it on raid 5 and it only ran in dos mode. Just looking at the new version (online), and it looks more like a backup utility than a disk imaging ut.
Here's an outline of how I used it...
Start with a fresh computer, no OS. Partition the drive, leave (depending on the OS) at least 5Gb (using high compression) on the second partion.
Install the OS and apps to the primary partition. Get everything set up the way you want.
Reboot and go into dos mode. run ghost.exe If your imaging a Windows system add the -ntil flag. This is to Ignore Log on the system (it will fill up).
You should get a dialog to select where you want to put the image and name it. Then another dialog to set the compression.
After that it should create your image to a single file. Burn that to dvd/cd.
We used to image hundreds of computers in 10 minutes!
Also, if its on the same network. You'll have to run a newsid program. This creates a new security identifier in your registry etc. If not, you may run into
access issues when sharing folders etc.
