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... -----Original Message----- From: Peter J Murray [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2007 11:08 AM To: Laurence Bates Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] Bare metal restore software He got us a really good rate on NOD32, so I'm sure he might be able to work out something with Acronis.
