Acronis True Image Enterprise Server

True Image Enterprise Server (we tested Version 9.1) is a data center-focused client/server application that supports a wide variety of Windows and Linux operating systems and CPUs as clients or servers.

However, it doesn't support MacOS, Solaris and other non-Linux, Unix-like operating systems, such as HP-UX and AIX.

Users and administrators can easily restore files. They just need to walk through a wizard, selecting which files they want backed up and restored, and where.

This process can be performed even more quickly if the user or administrator adds a local-client drive partition that has the operating-system files necessary to boot the system. Then this system can be booted from this partition to restore a damaged one (or one that won't boot because of viruses, Trojans and so on).

After this base-restoration has been accomplished, the rest of the files can be fetched to bring the machine to a more usable state. This method diminishes overall downtime. The downside is that there is no data encryption, though there is some compression that obscures data on network transports as it is being backed up or restored.

True Image's strengths lie in its egalitarian support of most 32- and 64-bit editions of Windows (including NT4, 98 and ME), as well as numerous kinds of Linux (we tested SUSE 10, but Debian, Mandrake, United Linux and others also are supported) through virtually any kind of backup media.
