True Image 2019 Server Backup?

Thread needs solution

I am brand new to Acronis. I have purchased True Image 2019 to backup my five Windows 7 and Windows 10 machines. I hope to get incremental file backups of each machine, and also a disk image of each machine. Once I have this system up and running (I have bootup flash memory device for one machine and am making a backup of that first machine now), I hope to use Acronis on two other applications. OK, here is the question:

I have a server located at IBM Cloud running Server 2016. I only have access to it through Remote Desktop. Can I somehow use True Image 2019 (or another acronis product) to make a incremental file backup of this offsite server, and a image that I could restore to a new hard drive, or even a replacement machine with probably different motherboard/processor? I would like to put this data on a NAS I have here at my office.

This stuff just confuses the heck out of me, and the good people at IBM cloud just want me to spend about $350 per MONTH!!!

Thanks in advance!!

Hello Dale,

Acronis True Image does not support Windows Server machines. So the only way you could back it up is backing up files from it as a network share. Just specify the share as a source for the backup.

 

Acronis Backup can be installed to Windows Server even remotely and image it: https://www.acronis.com/en-us/business/backup/windows-server/
