Workstation vs. PC Versions - Functional Differences

Can someone please explain the major functional differences between the Corp Workstation Version 8 dnd the 'Regular PC' Version 8...

If this is described on Acronis' site (I looked but couldn't find it), please just point me to the explanation.

 

Hi pvsurfer,

Check out the appropriate two "Product Overview" links in the forum Sticky titled <Product Links & FAQs>. For a quick summary, click <Version comparisons> in either version.

Regards

 

Hello pvsurfer,

Thank you for your interest in Acronis Disk Backup Software.

The major diference between Acronis True Image and Acronis True Image Corporate Workstation is that the latter supports remote operations, i.e. you can create the image of a remote computer. All the differences are described in the table at our site. Furthermore, Acronis True Image Corporate Workstation supports launching customer scripts before and after snapshot is taken.

Thank you.

Thank you both for pointing out the major difference between those versions, and for the links.

I happen to use the 'Std. PC' version, but I have a friend whose 2-PCs are connected via a WinXP 'home-network'. Based on your comments, it seems to me that he would be advised to get the Workstation version, since by installing the Workstation version on just one of those PCs he would be able to back up both PCs on his network. Do I have that right?

 

Hello pvsurfer,

Yes, you are right. Your friend will be able to install Acronis True Image Agent on the remote computer and Acronis True Image (local part) and Acronis True Image Management Console on the other one. After that he will be able to back up one computer via Management Console and the other one in the same way you do it. Also he may install Acronis True Image Agent Acronis True Image Management Consoles on both computers and then he will be able to back up both computers from any of them.

Please note that End-User License Agreement obliges that you purchase a license for each computer where you have Acronis True Image (local part) or Acronis True Image Agent installed. However, you may install both Acronis True Image (local part) and Acronis True Image Agent on the same computer even if you have one license. You may install Acronis True Image Management Console to as many computers as you wish.

Thank you.
