Back up & Recovery for servers info

Advice:
Do not rely on free or limited function
backup software that comes with your Windows, Apple or Unix operating systems.
Disk imaging is more reliable since it allows for more control
of what is backed up for safekeeping. A complete
image can be created of all of the contents of your drive(s) - quick &
easy.
Imaging
software saves invaluable time to recover a damaged or stolen system
to its original
state without having to re-load each individual software program, data
files and device drivers. Imaging software retains the last configuration
settings to preclude having to re-configure each setting- individually
or network-wide.
For everyone that has gone through this frustrating
backup exercise, Acronis will make you wonder why you did it another way. Backups
are just one of those necessary computer tasks, so why not make it as
easy a possible on yourself.
Software-
Acronis
True
Image for single PC's:
Acronis
True Image Home combines simplicity with flexibility to
ensure that you are fully protected and can recover from unforeseen events
such as viruses, unstable software downloads, and hard drive failures.
And when you want to delete data or re purpose an old hard drive, Acronis
True Image privacy protection applications can ensure that your old
data will never be retrieved and your identity fully protected.
True
Image is the complete PC backup and restore software for home and home
office users that can protect family pictures, videos, music, and important
documents stored on your home PC.
Acronis True Image provides you two backup options in one solution:
The original disk imaging backup option enables you to create an image
of your entire hard disk drive, including the operating system, applications,
user settings, and all data. Use the image to restore your PC to a known working
state without any reinstallation.
And, a new file-based
backup option which enables you to backup and restore individual files
and folders, like your My Documents folder or a specific file, like
your latest tax return.
In
addition to "Windows Vista™" support,
there are new specific tools for backing up Outlook emails, contacts, calendar
entries and all the means
to store program-specific
settings. Acronis True Image makes restoring your system even faster with the exclusive
new Snap Restore feature.
Exclusive Snap Restore- Lightening-speed restore of your PC from an image.
You can start working in seconds while your system is still being restored.
Exclude files- Save space when creating backups by only backing up the types
of files you want to keep.
Differential backup- Decrease the number of backups you manage. Differential
backups capture the changes made since your last full backup.
Expanded Acronis Drive Snapshot technology- We've expanded the no reboot feature
to include backing up specific files and folders. We can even backup system
files and open files with no issues. No matter which option you select, you
can continue to use your PC during backup.
Want
to make use of that old PC?
PCs
left over after an upgrade often do an admirable job as file servers.
You just need to know what components are important,
what parts you can do without, and how to adjust Windows so other computers
on the network can access the file server. The following steps will tell
you how to create a file server using an old computer with Windows XP
installed, although with a little tweaking most of the following tips
apply to a computer using any version of Windows.
For example, you can create a
simple file server. You can add more storage space by using
Acronis True Image to copy everything from the original drive-Windows
and all-to a larger drive, all without having to reinstall
Windows.
Windows
System Restore management wizard- If you run True Image regularly,
this feature in your operating system is redundant. Free up to
10% of your hard disk drive by disabling this default feature
in your operating system using Acronis True Image.
