Should I update? Help me please!!!

Hello,
I need for help in using Acronis True Image Server 7.0.
Our firm bought a license for this product two years ago for a disaster recovery solution.
That was the goal (ad is still the same):
Create images of each disk partition of servers in our serverfarm.
Burn .tib files into DVD (in most case this is possible ‘cause files created are less than 4.7Gb).
Recover damaged (or new) HardDisk using burned .tib by a DVD Usb 2.0 External drive.
That’s it…
This look simple, but reality is a “little” different in last step.
I see that Bootable rescue media can correctly “install” my usb drive, it’s possible to select the .tib image
but following process won’t finish correctly.
It’s a well-known problem of this version or not?
Do you think I can use a trial version of a newer version (I see that actual one it’s 9.1) to try to reach my goal?
Many thank for your help.
Gaudì

I take it that you have never TESTED a Restore all these years!!!

Try copying the image from the dvd on to a hard drive (usb or internal) and see if the Restore is successful from the hard drive.
