<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue">From my experience, it is a good practice to use the tools provided by the os manufacturer. In this case make a full backup of win 2008 server with the build in
backup program to a net share.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
