To the Members,
I have several Windows based systems still operating and I will be introducing
Virtual based systems and also Linux based systems into my needs for protecting
them. The Windows systems versions are Win2k SP4, Windows 3.1.1 w/Dos 6.2,
Windows XP SP3, Vista SP1, and Win7 no SP yet.
I will be adding VMWare 4.5, 7.1, and 8 to the mix on one or more of the
systems. I will also be using one or more of the Linux distributions primarily
as a Host on one or two system. Currently the Windows Win2k, Dos 6.2/Win
3.1.1, and Win 7 systems are independent free-standing systems.
I was considering a Publisher like Acronis because they have product that can
run on the mentioned operating systems, but if you are a private user they want
you on their current released product only, pretty much.
Their current product, like most publishers do not handle the older versions of
any operating system, but if you had their product back in the day. Their
newest and most current software will work with the created backup sets from
the older version of their products.
Then there is the aspect of buying their product that covers Linux/Unix. You
would have to buy their commercial product if you wanted to stay with this
single publisher. This price is not on par to a private customer costs (i.e. $
50.00 it is more like $ 500.00).
So I am asking my fellow members if you can make any reasonable suggestions for
my current need. If you need more info., just ask.
I will say, Thank You ! now for anyone's assistance in my concern.
Sincerely,
Harvey Rothenberg
