I have a Windows Server 2008 X64 machine that I need to swap the boot drive on. I'd like to use a disk image/restore utility to make an image of the boot partition and restore that to the new drive.
Does anyone know of a free or reasonably priced tool that can do this? I know that Acronis True Image will do it, but you need to have their server product to restore images of a server OS and it's prohibitively expensive ($850).
Thanks,
jon

Clonzilla is pretty cheap: free

Sounds like for your purpose you can just create the bootable CD, grab an external USB hard drive (or network location, etc.), backup your image, do what you need to do and then restore it.
