I recently got a job as a junior network administrator. Last week the senior admins did their yearly reinstall of server 2003, exchange, drivers etc on the main server.

I've been asked to back up the disc so that next year they can just copy over the pre-made image.

What tools can i use to achieve both the creation of the entire servers HDD image and loading it back on (id like to test it in the sandbox.)

To impress them, a program that is free is preferable. And maybe a tool that can do it all from booting the program off of a USB drive.
