Secure Zone on a server...

[user87]

Hello All,

I have one server and three personal computers in a small business network. Can I create a one Secure Zone on the server where the server and all personal computers image/incremental to?

Thank you,

In this case - that you have a server - I wouldn't even use the Secure Zone. I'd create a separate disk partition on the server (i.e. call it IMAGES or something similar) and then store the images there. This way, you can easily see and browse the images at will, and delete any you want manually.

Thanks, Napoleon...

I'm looking for a low to zero-maintenance solution for an office who's pesonnel has little PC knowledge. A Secure Zone on the server that everyone can access would track deletion of images/incrementals and if multiple PCs can write to that area, there would be no need for I.T. support until a hard drive crashes.

Hello user87,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup Software for Server ( http://www.acronis.com/enterprise/products/ATISWin/).

We are really sorry for the inconveniences. You can create Acronis Secure Zone only on local computer and so you cannot create image of network computer in your Secure Zone on the server. But it's probably that this option will be implemented in the future versions of Acronis product.

Thank you.

Hello user87,

I can propose you the variant of how you can do what you want. You may install Acronis True Image Enterprise Server or Acronis True Image Corporate Workstation and Acronis True Image Management Console to your server and install Acronis True Image Agents to the personal computers. After that you may schedule the image creation with Acronis Management Console and store the images on Acronis Secure Zone on server (in this case Acronis Secure Zone will be a local storage).

This variant implies that users on personal computers do not need to create images locally. The image creation will be scheduled and therefore performed automatically.
Hope this helps.

Thank you.
