Just use SPLAT's backup facility. Then when you want to restore the box, you just install CP from the CD (about 15-20 minutes), then restore from backup - another 10 minutes. Done.

You could also use the snapshot facility in SPLAT too I guess.
Well I was hoping that if we had a backup of it, we could just pop in the drive, image it, and then walk away and have it ready when I get back. I understand there's a way to back it up using CP, but was hoping for another person that has done this. Thanks anyway.
