Don't overlook the power of a virtual machine!

We take regular snapshots of our configuration, so as to be able to return if needed.

It does not backup the mail by itself but it allows us to backup/restore within minutes if something should happen (power outage, etc.) It helped us when we did the upgrade from Ubuntu 11.04 to 12.04

It's a powerful way to backup/restore a system. We're using VMware ESXi 5 as the base OS for our HP Proliant (with two instances of Windows Server 2008 and the ZEG), but VirtualBox works as well.

Do you know if the ZEG appliance can be cloned to a real server easily? (the 
Ubuntu one already set up with outlook mapi)

I was thinking just dumping the virtual machine's hard disk image to a ghost 
image etc... then just ghosting that over to a real hard drive, sticking it 
into the server and seeing if it boots. That way I just have to mess with 
configs.
