In addition to daily backups, the company I work for would like to begin imaging servers in case of hard drive failure. I am thinking we would need a ghost console server and the client installed on each server. On a weekly basis we would like to schedule a hot imaging job over the network saving the images on the server. We have the following servers and I was wonderiing if anyone can forsee if ghost solution suite would have any problems with the following sources:
- windows 2000 domain controller server with mssql 2000 server
- windows 2003 domain controller with dns/dhcp services
Would hot imagng work for the above? Or would some scripting be neccessary to shut down the services such as dns/dhcp/ sql server?
Ideally we could do this imaging on a weekly basis and while they are being imaged, the servers services would still be running.
