Does Acronis do the following?

I'm looking for a backup solution that will do the following:

Scenario is a small office - one desktop, two laptops, all networked (all Windows XP):

1) Laptops must be backed up on to the desktop across network (i.e. using UNC path (server name/IP address)), not mounted drive
2) Backup to be initiated from desktop only - so software only installed on desktop
3) Need backup of "My Documents", User login profile files (Documents and Settings\<user_name>) and Outlook PST files
4) Must be able to handle locked files (i.e. files that are in use by other programs) across a network
5) Must be able to run unattended and in silent mode (i.e no dialog boxes will pop up).

Can Acronis True Image do all this? if so which product do I need? Home/Workstation etc..?
Thanks.

 

I'm not 100% sure, but this sounds like a Workstation 9.1 scenario.

*bump*... can anyone tell me what I need? I like the sound of the product, but the website doesn't seem to answer the questions I have... (unless I've missed something..!)
