Same here - Repartee ActiveVoice running on a Dell Optiplex G1. I was able to successfully clone the hdd a couple of years ago, but Ghost wouldn't work. Dfsee worked like a champ, but the hdd had to match exactly.
There is an ability within that system to schedule the backup the critical configuration files (can't remember if messages are included in that or not, but I believe mailbox greetings are). You can aso network the system in theory, but I haven't had time to try and get that fully operational. The goal there would be to have the scheduled nightly backup dump the files to a network share. You can aso get VNC installed on it for remote admin... Jonathan L. Raper, MCSE Sent from my Windows Mobile ® enabled Smartphone.

J Not sure what I'll do if it ever crashes. I would suggest scheduling some downtime, removing the hard disk drive, attaching the HDD to another computer, and making a disk image. That way, when the HDD fails, you can find a replacement HDD and restore it and get the system working again. You might need to find an old, smaller HDD (bigger ones often give old hardware/software fatal brain cramps), but that part is usually easy. Unless you *want* the system to be unrecoverable so you *have* to get a new VMU (voice mail unit), of course. :) Be warned, though: Sometimes there are dependencies between the VMU and the PBX/KSU (PBX=private branch exchange, KSU=key service unit; one of these is the central equipment in a phone system). We used to have a Norstar KSU. We were looking at upgrading the firmware of the KSU to support more ports. We learned that newer firmware was incompatible with our old VMU. Upgrading the KSU meant replacing the VMU. We ended up replacing all the central equipment with a Nortel BCM instead; it wasn't that much more money, but gave us a lot more features. (Three months latter, Nortel declared bankruptcy, but that's another story.) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ Any medical information contained in this electronic message is CONFIDENTIAL and privileged.
