Not sure if the Acronis for Windows will image my nagios linux server?

If not what is a good opensource imaging software to take an image of my nagios box?

If I want to copy my Objects folder manually somewhere else do I need to stop the nagios service?

these 2 items are outside the scope of Nagios support and are general in nature, so I will not be answering them, however maybe a community member will weigh in with their opinion...

No, you can copy the objects folder/files at any time. Many users actually rsync this directory with another server for a really basic backup.
