Looking for backup software of complete system

[Rick Lim]

Hi there,

Could anyone recommend a backup software that would back up the whole
system, what I am looking for is much like Ghost for Linux but the system
has to keep running.

I am not worried about log files, this is the case where if the machine
fails then we are down for the period of time it takes to either build a new
OS disk and reinstall all of the custom programs and their numerous quirks
or grab the latest restore from the back media and just 'clone' a new disk
with all the programs setup.

 

What I have tried in the past is to clone the harddisk using the harddisk
upgrade howto method, but that involves taking the machine completely
offline, also cutting an image with Ghost means taking the machine offline.

 

Thanks.
