Best Backup software

hi am trying to find out what people think is the best backup software.
what i need it to do is bassically make a full copy of a pc once ive set up and save that to a HDD or network drive which i can thn go onto a identical machine and load this image.
i have been using ghost 2003 but it is failing on everything i have tryed so far and is causeing alot of problems,today it made a pc non-bootable and i have had to format the machine fully. i have only managed ot get it to work right with a set of toshiba laptops i was setting up but since then it hasent worked with any machines.
please any suggestions would be welcome as would make my job as a ict techy easyer then setting 30 machines up manually etcetc.
thanks chris
