I have several bare metal windows machines I would like to backup to a remote location, ideally I would like it backed up into an image file that can be easily restored in the event of a disaster.

So far I have tried Syncrify and UrBackup but neither seem to do what I need.

With Syncrify I was hoping to point it to the USB drive that Windows Server Backup writes to and keep that in sync with the remote side, but it unfortunately creates a new sub folder on every backup so it won't incrementally update the vhd that is created.

UrBackup seems to work, but the incremental image backup is nowhere near as fast as I had hoped, whether that's due to the algorithm it uses I don't know.

I would like something that allows me to initially seed the data so that it doesn't all need to go over the WAN, incremental backups should therefore take considerably less time, the sites where the machines sit only have a maximum of 20mbit upload but the site where the backup server sits hassite has 1gig syncronous.
