Best way to clone my Windows Server 2. R2 Cloning the hard drive offline on a schedule is not something that Im comfortable with. With the hard drives offline it is very vulnerable to an untoward change that could render the server unbootable or data damaged. This is true no matter how careful a person is. That is not to say that that sort of thing happens a lot, but taking a live server offline and rendering the operating systems checks and balances of permissions and process ownership completely dead can lead to some scary possibilities. I recommend two possibilities Option One. Use a product that is intended to clone one server to another server while the source server is alive and running. This is not a backup and recovery product, but a high availability product. For example, Marathon ever. Run or Vision Solutions Double. Take product. Theres no hacky take it offline once in a while, back it up and hope we can restore the server if something bad happens oh and I hope the data is fresh enough to keep us from getting fired happening here. You can be up and running on the recovery server within seconds using data that is itself potentially only seconds old or not old at all, depending on how you set it up.
