Hi There Flashter,
For our Windows Web Server we use Acronis TrueImage Server on a Daily Schedule. This provides a live image of the server so in the event of failure we have an image to restore to. We backup over the network to a NAS and this works fine for us. There is also an option for a plugin so you can restore the image to a server of different hardware without issue or re-install.

Its a few hundred per server but certainly wort taking a look to do it right.

If you're going to be hosting several sites on a 2K3 Platform and you are not yet familiar with 2K3 or IIS6, it may be worth considering a Control Panel such as PLESK or HELM that will take the administration and labour away from you. You can either buy or lease these depending on your budget and needs.

These systems work with Free Mail Servers as standard to keep costs down.
