Workstation or Server

[Trinkhalle]

Hi,

I ask myself wether I must use TI Server for backin up my SBS-2003-System, because TI Home seems to do that job perfectly. The main reason for considering this is, that Universal Restore option for TI Server cost 275 €, but Universal Restore option for TI Home only 27,50 €.

Could someone give me a fair respond without having $ signs in the eyes? ;)

Thanks in advance,
Tim

Hi Marat,

thanks for replying.

So if I got you right I can backup and restore the server system with any version of TI, but a restore to a system with different hardware would only work with one of the server versions of Universal Restore?

Thanks again,
Tim

Hello Trinkhalle,

Please be aware that different versions of Acronis True Image support different operating systems (listed on our official website (http://www.acronis.com/) in the respective sections). While you could back up and restore any operating system using Acronis Bootable Rescue Media, we cannot guarantee that unsupported ones will be bootable after such operation.

Thank you.
