I found out about this deal from LifeHacker.com where they have this to say about the disk image backup solution:
True Image does offer backup archive validation, a recovery disk creator, a startup interrupter that can re-apply a backup image, and other tools for those shaking their fists at the Windows gods.
See the full LifeHacker.com write-up by clicking here. Advisers need to think about full disk imaging solutions in disaster recovery and business continuity plans. When (not if) your main server’s hard drive fails, what will you do? Dig up yesterday’s backup tape and run a full restore? How long will that take?
Enter Acronis. Acronis will take full images of disks and creates a mirror of your main hard drive. When the primary drive fails, swap over to the mirrored drive image maintained by Acronis and you’re back up and running with a much shorter delay.
Acronis was mentioned by Steve Ryder of True North Networks, LLC back at the NAPFA Technology Conference in October 2008.
