I didn't even know you could mount system images. At least not the default windows ones anyway. Either way I will think file backup is better. image backup would take too much room. I have an image with all the must have apps i use every day, then i just install the rest of the crap and I'm back to minty. In addition it's a fresh install so it doesnt bring any of the problems from the image from a week ago. I do intend to fool around with Server 2008 R2 just for the learning experience. I am the sort of person who likes to know as much as I can without knowing everything.
PS. The reason file backup is the best for me is i will send these files to the server PC and then they will be backed up with carbonite. so my 2 stage backup will be close to perfect.
