I've heard nothing but good things about Acronis, which was one of the reasons I decided give them a shot. Other reasons were the reasonable costs, VMware support, DeDuplications, and the option to restore individual files. Well, We started with Backup and Recovery 11 Virtual Edition, Then we were asked to upgrade to 11.5. I have not thought of trying earlier versions. So this current problem, where it takes _forever_ to open a backup just to view the files inside... they have support looking into it. They might be albe to get back to me in a week. :( --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ----- Original Message ----- From: Stefan Jafs [mailto:[email protected]] To: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tue, 25 Jun 2013 05:49:28 -0800 Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Wisdom of the crowds: Backup > You can't use previous versions?
