TI for a SuSE 9.0 box / a general question

[tustudium]

dear acronis-experts,

please allow me a question: i'd like to backup a SuSE linux 9.0 box with Acronis. as i cannot access the server physically, and as no CD-ROM or PXE-boot is available i'd like to know whether in the case of an "emergency" i can restore the machine by asking the provider (where it is housed) to set up a "fresh" image of any linux-os (just to be able to access the machine from remote) and then restore the backed-up image via ftp on the _same_ partition (perhaps at the next reboot) the second thing i'd like to know in advance (before buying a version of acronis) is the other way round: can i make a backup of the partition directly to another ftp-host? and: will there be problems if i have just 10% HDD space (= about 4 out of 40 GB) available (for temporary space?)? which version of acronis should i use? the kernel-version is 2.4.25.

i'm grateful for any kind of help
thanks a lot in advance!

paul
