Server Backup - Acronis?

[deaddybear]

I am thinking of buying Acronis True Image Server 8.0. It's kind of expensive even at 20% Off, so I'd like to know if any one here has anything good or bad to say about it. Is it worth the money or are there more affordable solutions?

Personally I use CA BrightStor (v11.1*). I've always had good luck with it and it is very easy to work with. (Requires a tape drive of some sort)

I can't think of any affordable backup solutions for servers. Prices go through the roof when you talk servers.

I agree, server software is NOT cheap. Personally, I have supplied Veritas Backup Exec to all my clients since before it went Symantec. I feel that going forward, it is only going to improve on an already excellent product.

i have used the acronis software before and its nice but also the Veritas Backup Exec is a good peace too.

Veritas & Acronis are both very viable options for server backup/disk imaging

I use True Image server exclusively, it is very good .. Much better than Symentec in my opinion. It is expensive yes. But worth it ...

We use Acronis as wel. We use it primarily for imaging workstations and servers (not so much as for backups) but I've found it to work very well in any situation.

Have not used the server software but I can say there True Image is a great and easily implemented necessity for me. Acronis gets an A as far as I'm concerned.
