2008 Server Backup

[Webhead]

I stumbled across something today that might be a great solution. Maybe you guys have already tried this?

It's this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../ee656415.aspx

So I have my server with a large USB drive attached. My backup will be to simply run this and make VHDX files out of the physical drives. It would just run overnight maybe once a week. or I guess I could even schedule it to go nightly. Then for disaster recovery all you'd need to do is mount the VHDX file.

Anyway, I'm running this now. Gonna see how it goes and I'll post back if it works out.

EDIT:
Nevermind. Just after I finished posting this I turned around and it crashed. But I think it crashed because there's something wrong with my server and not because of this method of disk to vhd. So it still might be worth a try.

EDIT2:
Trying the same thing but with VMWare Converter instead. Seems to be working so far.
