I saw a post the other day asking about free imaging software but I do not think that any of the solutions fit what I am looking for. I was wondering if there were any free PC backup/imaging software that I could run on a PC to create an image of the running system (while the system is running) incase the hard drive failed. Also, the ability to schedule the image would be nice. I think that Acronis makes some not so free apps that will do this.
My thought process is that we have a desktop PC that runs our ACD software and hardware and I would like for it to backup itself as an image to an external hard drive without taking the machine down.
