I would nto be so sure about RebuildXpress.
After purchasing it, installing it, configuring it as per the manual, I had RBX running backups on a daily basis.
Everything seemed normal and I had RBX running for several months, never needed it to use it really.
A few weeks ago one of my BIG servers went down with registry corruption. I had 180 customers in there they all went down.
I thought, no biggy, max 2 to 3 hours down while re-building the server and then running Fabulous RBX right ? WRONG.
Re-built server, set everything up and got ready to run RBX with great expectations.
The progress bar came up, eveyrthing looked good, then after a few minutes the bar showed DONE. I was expecting a lot longer than that. Sure enough. nothing was restored properly. Then I contacted HC support, I provided remote access to him, after a long time not hearing from him he came back online to tell me that i had setup RBX wrong and the backups were useless.
Long story short, I had to re-built the server by hand, lost about 10 good customers and wnet through 4 days of extreme stress.
