Windows 2003 full os backup?

    hi all,
    we have a windows 2003 enterprise edition server which was just rebuilt on the weekend. so as to save time in the future, we were thinking if we could do a full os backup of the c: partition and the OS can be restored at any time.

    from previous experience, i have used a dual boot scenario and then backed up the inactive partition using xcopy. but we don't have a dual boot(2 os's on the system). i haven't used ghost in years either. is it an fininky as it used to be?
    also i have used Acronis True image home edition. would this work for windows 2003 like it does with win xp? id say you would have to get a different license!

    any ideas would be great.

    There's DriveImage XML and Partimage. I can't see why Acronis would have any problem. I've used for xp and it's been smooth. Dunno about ghost, only used older versions.

    Acronis true image server is the sw for the job, Ive used it on domain controller and restored it no bother.

    we only have the 1 server so i can't see the company splashing that much cash for just one machine.
    have looked at Partimage today and created the system rescue cd so will do a backup with that tomorrow. its also a chance to reuse some unix skills!
