As far as I know those will clone a drive. But we need to build the drive with a new Windows. We aleady used Acronis to clone drives but never seem a way to build a new OS on the same machine without impacting that machine. We cannot afford to keep the production system down for 1-2 days while all the software is being added, updated, activated, etc. etc.
We VMWare we can build the OS but it is is not exportable (or just use a real disk) so it can be booted from (for real).
