Yep - HP Proliant tools!
Seriously, that bit of software that comes with every Proliant ML3xx and above, iirc? - is the dogs nads. It makes setting up a server so damn easy - even a total n00b could do it.
Of couse, there's the issue that you need a HP Proliant server to install it on in the first place.....
I tried Acronis a few years back. Seemed a good piece of software, tbh. Never really had a need for it though - mainly because of the product listed above....
