SBS 2011 switch to new server

Thread needs solution

Hi first of all apologies if someone has asked this a million times before.

We have a client with an old Dell Server running SBS 2011, using Exchange, Sharepoint, and 70 users.
Server has one hard drive with OS and data on it.

We have in our possession a brand spanking new Dell server which is going to be RAID 1 OS and RAID 5 Data.

One assumes this product (or the advanced one) would let us do some sort of full backup of the old server with the option to restore it to the new server, retaining all user accounts/settings, GPO's yada yada?

Also if so, would we need the Advanced or the basic version?

Would be ideal if so! Can't be doing with a fresh reinstall and data copy :)

Thanks in advance!

Hello Wes,

yes, you will be able to carry out this plan using Acronis Backup.

As a most suitable product I'd suggest you Acronis Backup for Windows Server Essentials.

Please be aware that you will need to apply Acronis Universal Restore while restoring to a dissimilar hardware. Check our web help for more details.

Thank you.
