[sdw2003] How would you go about this?

[Thaddeus Braun]

Thanks for all the great feedback...we already bought the Acronis
w/Universal Restore and we will give it a go on Monday. I did like that
Digi AnywhereUSB thing, though...nice find.

What are the respite requiremts of this box?

If it only requires desktop grade performance, it us a prime canidate  
for virtualization if you already have an existing vm server or esxi.

There are a number of p2v tools available. You can also use acronis too.
