As far as I can see, the folk at Acronis are very intransigent about the
price of their software. I havn't found any deals on the web and they want
$553 per server (Quantity 25) for educational institutions. That's the
price of a fairly decent car. I just can't see paying that much for disk
imaging software.
For what it's worth, they do a Home version that works with Windows 2003 but
they do not recommend it for that purpose. I think that it might work for
simple servers but it cannot see more complex drive setups.
So I guess that I'm still looking, which is a pity. Acronis could make so
much more if they charged a reasonable price per copy. That certainly
worked for Microsoft...

He got us a really good rate on NOD32, so I'm sure he might be able to
work out something with Acronis.
