If you are looking at Acronis keep this in mind.
We had been using it here for years and recently started adding x64 2008 machines to our environment, which does not work with Acronis. I contacted Acronis directly and they indicated 2008 is an unsupported OS and there are currently no immediate plans to support it. I then contacted Paragon software which has a competing product, Partition Manager Server. Very similar to Acronis, and it does support 2008, both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. I have done some preliminary testing and it seems to have the same functionality as Acronis.

I believe we plan on purchasing the product but we have an immediate need to resize the system partition on 7 newly built servers. There's too much red tape to go through to get the full product purchased before the end of today. I'm having a hard time finding any documentation on their site. - Sean ----------------------------------------- This message, and any attachments to it, may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
