Sigstroker,
Norton Ghost can create an image on a mapped network drive. Not sure about
the others.
BTW, mirroring on 2 drives can also be configured in a RAID-0 configuration
so that hot fail-over is seamless and you have no down time at all.

would any of these backup to a mapped/network drive on a LAN?
