As most of you are using RAID controllers (at least I hope for your sake), here is a simple method that allows you to image your server for free. This does however assume that you are using a RAID 1 (mirror).
Remove a disk from the RAID 1 Array. Put in a fresh new HDD and let it rebuild. Then remove the new disk and put the old one back in. You now have a perfect copy of your server. Now if you have a set of servers that should be configured exactly the same, this allows you to do just that.
Don’t forget to change the IP and Server name though :)
Yes it’s a poor and lazy man’s option but hey, it works :D
