TI Home 2012 vs B&R 11 Workstation

Thread needs solution

Currently:
- Backup & Recovery 11 Workstation @ $74 plus Universal restore @ $37 = $111
- TI Home 2012 @ $50 plus Plus Pack @ $30 = $80

For workstation backup/restore (forget servers and centralized management), DAK what extra I get for $111 apart from a user interface which has not been dumbed down to the point of absurdity?

You get the ability to auto convert an image to VHD, a choice of 3 built in imaging methods as well as custom, centralised and local archiving, command line communications, remote access to another machine so long as the agent is installed on the other machine.

More detailed log files.

Personally I find ABR11 easier to use than TIH, however if you want try and decide or non stop backup, TIH is what you need

ABR11 workstation is $89.00 per license if bundled with UR, not separately.
Remote and centralized management is only for Advanced workstation, that is $109 bundled with UR.
Here is the table for ABR10 vs 2011, http://kb.acronis.com/content/7540 , just remove tapes for standalone version of ABR11.

So we get Disk Director Light also as an additional feature with Acronis Backup & Recovery

If you have to buy the Disk Director Home separately add another $49

The one integrated into ABR is called "Disk Director Lite" for a reason - it can create/delete/convert (basic<->dynamic, MBR<->GPT) but not resize, splt/merge, change cluster size, edit and such. Overall, it has enough features to prepare a proper volume structure that ABR can later recover the backup to. But not more.
