What software can create OS image backups for platform independent servers

Question

I have a couple servers for which I use the inbuilt backup tools to make OS backups, is there software that can automate the process and make similar format backups. Are there any freeware tools available, paid software will do too.

Edit:I have a couple of CentOS and Windows Server 2008 R2 servers

@Rajat I have added the info to the post, and I would like a solution that could cover both operating systems please. — rzlines, Oct 07 '10 at 18:38

Bacula is available for all unix-likes and Windows, and can backup in OS-native format as well as in a compatible format (tossing e.g. NTFS ACL etc.). It works great, handles also tape libraries, but is a bit tricky to configure.

Documentation link You have to read this, because you have to understand and test your backups.

Look into Acronis software. They have a ton of software suites that you can use for this purpose.
