Acronis

[mrtechsystems]

Hi ppl

 

Just wondering if there are people out there using Acronis I am trying out at the moment the True Image Server and wondering if anyone else is using the program looking in to updating the backup system and use it to restore images on the workstations

 

I got Norton Ghost Corp but do not like it and yes I can use it

 

Any inof much appericited

We use Acronis here but only for workstation imaging - we used to use Ghost but got fed up of waiting for it to boot off floppy/CDROM/whatever.

 

Simple PXE boot and away you go. Seems quicker and easier than ghost (IMO).

 

If you'd like any other info let us know

Can anybody list some major pros and cons, strengths and weaknesses based on studies, reviews, anecdotes or experiences on the following disk imaging solutions for backup and recovery, for both Windows Servers or Workstations (desktop, laptop)???

 

 

1) Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery (Servers and Workstations)7.0

2) Symantec Ghost Suite 2.0

3) Acronis True Image (Server and Workstations) 9.1

4) Paragon Drive Backup 8.51

 

My environment consists of:

Applications built in C++ and Visual Basic

Window 2000, 2003, NT servers, desktops, laptops

MS SQL Database Servers at the backend

 

 

Thanks!!!
