best freeware disk imaging and remote desktop software?

[NoodleTech]

What is the best freeware disk imaging and remote desktop software?

I need to create complete images of my small business's computers that I can restore from.

I also need to control the computers remotely from home so I can do troubleshooting from home. I've used RealVNC in the past and I'd like something similar that is free.

Thanks!

Paragon drive backup 9 and Macrium Reflect seem to be popular choices these days.

For remote access, try LOGMEIN.

UltraVNC works well for me for remote access.

What's wrong with just using remote desktop?

Crossloop gets my vote for remote access if you're doing support for a side business. If you're wanting to log into your home pc from work I would go with setting up remote desktop over the web or logmein. Also the tomato firmware that is pretty popular I think contains a VPN option http://www.acevpn.com/2009/04/...-on-tomato-router.html

I've had some success with Drive Image XL for disk imaging.

I use Windows Image by Terabyteunlimited.com great for imaging. http://www.ammyy.com/en/index.html for remote.
