Easiest thing to do is use Ghost to backup to a networked drive.

Then you can have a bootable CD from which you can just re-ghost the image from the networked drive :)

Acronis Truimage is good, you can use it from within windows and works well. I restored a backup just after Christmas using this and again it worked flawlessly :)

If you are cheap though use the copy of ghost that was probably supplied with your mobo.

we have to have licenses for everything - with over 1000 users it is very expensive and all
