Among the updates to Acronis Snap Deploy?.0 are: thinkpad

• Acronis Universal Deploy - Complete deployment flexibility by ensuring that image can be restored to any hardware or virtual machine microsoft

• 64-bit Windows support - Use one application for both new and old systems laptop computers

• Customizable deployment options: laptop computer

• Target disk utilization - allows the IT manager to deploy a master image as is keeping the same disk size as on a master machine or using the entire had disk on the target PC by resizing the image to match the new hard disk desktop computer

• Post-deployment operations - allows the IT manager to choose what action should be performed on the target mach after the deployment is completed notebooks

• New media builder - IT managers can use the media build feature effectively to build three types of media: an ISO image that can be burned to a CD, DVD or disk drive; a bootable configuration that can be placed on an a Microsoft Remote Installation Server, and multiple configurations that can be burned onto a single CD that can be used for deploying various systems lenovo

• Enhanced Acronis PXE Server - IT managers now can specify the default configuration and timeout after which the configuration will begin to boot hard drive

IT departments today need to be more nimble than ever before, said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis. Downsizing over the past few years has left fewer technical staffers to deal with a greater number of systems, both physical and virtual. Acronis understands the challenges IT departments face today, particularly in large enterprises where infrastructures have grown while the size of the IT staffs have diminished. Acronis Snap Deploy makes the IT manager s job less complex and reduces costs by making it easier to deploy new systems and get new employees productive. travelstar

Acronis Snap Deploy?.0 certainly came to the rescue of the Manpower office in Calgary, Alberta, said Mike Armstrong, IT Technician. We operate six week training sessions for approximately 18 potential employees where we teach them to run various computer applications, At the end of the class, we have to have each of the 18 computers back to a pristine condition so that the next class will be able to go through the training. Prior to using Acronis Snap Deploy, preparing each computer was a long, labor-intensive process that ran well into the night, impacting our IT department s productivity. gateway

Acronis allowed us to automate the multicasting of a new image to each machine so that now we can prepare for a new class in just a matter of minutes, he continued. The time savings is significant and allows us to be far more productive. As a company that built its business on making its clients more productive, we see this as an ideal solution for IT managers who need to deploy images to multiple systems on a regular basis. Acronis has far exceeded our expectations. laptop parts

List price for quantity 1 Acronis Snap Deploy?.0 is $19.99. List price for Acronis Universal Deploy is $9.99. Each system to be deployed requires its own license. Volume discounts are available. The products are currently being shipped. software

But, the applications that don t require the second by second backup, maybe it s every half hour, maybe it s every hour, and maybe it s every day. You can use the Acronis True Image, whether it s the Enterprise Server or Network Servers, or the Workstation for Network Workstations and back up those machines at a time that makes sense to the IT Director. hard drives

Alan:

You have the ability now to actually group which machines that we want to back up as a group, because we may have a number of different machines that are set aside for e-commerce, web traffic, or for accounting. You actually allow us to do grouping. electronics

Stephen:

Grouping in a sense that you re discussing it, is a new and very useful capability. We used to call groups, we would talk about domains and you have one domain in a company for one application, maybe it s for your financial department and you might have a separate domain for sales. Another domain entirely for your manufacturing groups. canon

In the past, you needed to build separate disaster recovery systems for each domain. Not with Acronis. Acronis can cross those domains. Any machine that touch over the network it can image. You can now have either a single or a set of servers that are going out and touching all of the desktops all of the servers in the company. It doesn t matter what domain they re on and save those images off to an image server. desktop pc

Alan:

When you re talking about an image server, it really doesn t have to be a server per se, because you work with SAN devices, NAS devices, and things like RAID Stephen: It can be anything. We support all different types of backup devices. As a matter of fact, we ve in the past 30 days, we added Direct Writing to DVD s. For a small company, it may be writing to dual sided DVD, 9 gigabytes might be all they need for their mail server or for their web server. We used to require third party software to do that, now we can do it directly. You just pop the DVD in the same way you would pop a CD in, point to that device, save your image there. desktop computers

Alan:

And that s the whole key, is saving your image to something that is portable, because Katrina has taught us that we really don t have a lot of time to say, Get out of Dodge . If we have it on DVD s we can just basically put them in a brief case and go with it. think pad

Stephen:

Whether it s DVD s or a USB Attached Removable Disk, we don t care. Again, we re hardware agnostic , we will save to any media and of course, we will also allow you to save over the Internet. Maybe you have a VPN Connection to a Remote Server somewhere in Iron Mountain. Instead of having a truck come by every night and you load all your tapes into that truck and hope not of the tapes fall off the back, you could electronically send your images to some offsite location. repair

Alan:

Talking about backing up. First of all, what kind of server or what type of equipment do we need to have installed in order to use the Enterprise Version What does it install on data recovery

Stephen:

The Enterprise Version of Acronis True Image will install on any Wintel machine that s running one of the Microsoft Windows Server Operating Systems. It could be Windows Server 2000, it could be 2003. It s one of the primary distinctions between Server product and the Workstation product. The Workstation product will only run on desktop operating systems. cisco

Also, the product that s called Acronis True Image Server, not Enterprise Server. The distinction here is that the product that s just called Server is for standalone servers. If you have an SMB and maybe you only have four or five servers in your company and you don t necessarily require the capabilities of a Management Console and you re not worried about going out and managing hundreds or thousands of servers. You can save quite a bit of money, simply by buying standalone copies of Acronis True Image, they re not designed to work over a network, but you can still schedule your backups and do everything you can with the Enterprise product. The difference is that you ll save roughly 30%. keyboard

Alan:

And so Workstation Edition, you basically can back up multiple workstations, but you need a license per each workstation. And the Server Edition works exactly the same, except that it backs up servers, right monitor

Due to the nature of our business, we must upgrade hard drives to accommodate our product line. In the past we had to rely on Norton Ghost to move our system drives over, keeping our fingers crossed. Finally there s a product that is fast, easy, and reliable with no special booting requirements. Hats off to Acronis for a wonderful product. Thanks guys! desktop

Incremental backup as a backup that backs up only the files modified since the last backup

I purchased the True Image 6.0 for Norton Ghost users and I am astonished on the positive differences between your product and Norton s. I never could grasp the Norton interface, but with Acronis True Image it was so easy! This is how software should work. Acronis True Image?.0 is an excellent product and one which I will reccommend highly! memory

I just wanted to tell you how impressed I am with your product. I bought Ghost for $70.00 and was never able to use it, it did not like my CDRW drive, and their tech support told me they had not tested with that drive so you are on your own. Your product works perfectly, and has already helped restore an accidently corrupted file. as400
