I was wondering if anyone could give a few suggestions on a virus scan and a backup program for a server. I have two hard drives in the server and I just want to copy one hard drive with the other.

AVG free antivirus works pretty good if you don't want to spend $ (or don't have it to spend). As far as packages you pay for, Computer Associates eTrust antivirus is one of the best packages available.
For backup, why not just use the built-in ntbackup that comes with windows. When creating the backup set, just be sure to have it back up to the secondary drive.

Is this for something you have at home or a corp environment? How much you want to spend?

mirror the drive if you need a full clone as far as good av soft I recomend norton server protect its not free but its real time moemory scan is excellent though its manuall scans arnt as good as others (compression level limitations and heuristics arnt as good)
for a free manual scan I would recomend bit defender its preaty good
a nother option if your not on scssi or sata is to clone the partition you can do this either with a commercial program or with some open source alternativees I have one windows client set to reboot into a loaf (linux on a floppy) and run dd to clone the drive then boot back into windows dd will copy at binary level including mbr and embr etc..

It is a web server for a company that will be holding some important confidential information. I just cant loose the information. We are willing to pay, but we dont want to spend $1000's of dollars.
