Make Full True Image Hard Drive Backups!

Here are some of the answers:

• It enables you to make full server backup without loss in productivity.
• The image backup will not disruption your Windows servers.
• It will minimize downtime during server data recovery in case of a hard disk failure.

Most backup products make hard disk drive backups based on file copy. With a true image backup this is not the case, instead it backup the image based on sector level backup.
The backup create consistence snapshot images of your data, which can be recreated on sector level.

Unique to Acronis True Image Server is that as a disk image backup it runs directly under Windows computers without disrupting other tasks.
Most disk image backup and copy products run as DOS programs, which means that the system have to be booted and run from within DOS in order to backup the hard disk server. This of course interrupts the server and forces any user of the network to log out during the backup.

The Acronis server backup software is supported to run under Windows NT, Windows 2000 server, Windows 2003 server and Windows XP.
It supports most file systems used on a window sever, like FAT16 , FAT32, Linux Ext2, Linux Ext3, NTFS, ReiserFS and Linux SWAP.
It also support for Linux and Netware run from bootable CD.

The software supports most types of media for the data backup.
This includes hard disks, network storage devices, DVD, CD, most tape drives, USB 2.0, firewire devices and RAID controllers using an IDE or SCSI bus.

It has dynamic volumes supports. This means the restoration and backup can be mounted to different volumes. Also you can do a full disk image backup or an image backup of a partition.

The most effective use of the product is by doing server disk image on to another disk drive. This will minimize downtime and make restoration from a hard drive crash a fast procedure.

By using this product you secure the network server data with hard disk backups!
To make a hard disk sever recovery you use a disaster recovery bootable diskette or CD.

You minimize the productivity loss when you save an exact copy of your server.
You will be able to recreate a full working copy of your hard drive with it current state settings of your hard disk including databases, patches and any configuration.

The first backup of the hard drive image is made to an image file stored at the backup media. Subsequent backup can be incremental.
Restoration of the data can be of the whole data image. It can also be of individual files or folder.
