I am firing up a new server WS2012R2E (retiring WHSv1), and I was wondering what everyone else is doing to back up the main boot drive for the server. My configuration will be an SSD for the main boot drive and then pooled drives with DrivePool. I would like to be able to have some sort of backup/image or something backing up the WS2012R2E installation, so if and when the boot drive fails I just stick in a new one and put the image or whatever on and I am good to go instead of having to do a complete re-install and set up all the users and vpn and everything again.
Any and all comments appreciated. I did try the search function but did not find much (probably my fault), so links to topics where this has been already discussed would be appreciated as well.
