I want to make backup copy of my Exchange server. The choice seem to be between Acronis and the slightly more expensive Paragon Drive Backup Server What do you think about it?

Acronis True Image 7.0 for Free!

I agree, xxclone, fast, simple, and it works.

If the server is used in a business environment I would go with Pargon. Acronis is more tailored to home PCs. If you use the free software and something bad happen to the image, you have no one to talk to for support.

Californiakid, thanks for the link for the True Image 7.0 serial#. Only question is where do you download the software? On Acronis' site I see True Image for Windows SERVER.

kjm,

Once you read this thread you will be getting the free but pre-Windows 95 version of Acronis True Image 7.

I've been belonging to True Image fans for a long time already.
californiakid, free Acronis version is a home one and doesn't suites the Server backup purpose. Only server and enterprise TI versions are designed for this..
