How do I create a backup image of my server?

[Duda Nogueira]

Hello AZ!

One way of doing this is to work with virtual servers with softwares like
innotek virtualbox or vmware server. With this tool/method (virtualization)
you'll be able to backup and even run your backed up  server in any machine
(and also more then one server on the same machine), specify the memory
available to each server and a lot of other cool stuff.

I don't know how to make an iso the entire HardDisk with the system
running... I know how to do it with a livecd...

Good luck!
