Hello,

I'm looking for a solution for my company's computers that are controlling our machines on production. For 50 computers.

After googling and reading around I decided I try Acronis but.... I'm not sure which version is right for me.

What i need is to make backup image from these computers hard drives and over the local network update these images every day. So if and when the hard drive on some of these computers fail I could do a restore to a new hard drive and replace it with broken one and have production back up in no time.

Problem for me is that i read overview of these products and all seems to do almost the same thing.
So would Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 fit the best for me?

Best among what?
Anyway, B&R11.5 will do it. To reduce amount of data to transfer daliy you can use incremental or differential backups.
But if OS on this computers is Windows Embedded, it's not supported (http://kb.acronis.com/content/8603)

Ok, thanks.
I'v been reading around docs and stuff more and more but i still have some things not clear to me.

So if I want to manage for example 10 computers(agents installed) over lan, can I control all of these computers with 11th computer that has console and agent installed?
Or do I need also that management server installed for that?
I just want to save those image files to external USB drive, not to some server.
If I need that management server, can that, agent and console be installed on same computer?
or do I really need to install management server and agent to one computer and console and agent to other computer, like it was pictured here http://www.acronis.eu/download/docs/abr11.5as/quickstart

2 of these machines that i want to manage already has true image home 2010 installed, can that and Advanced Workstation agent be installed on same computer without interfere?

No. Agent is the components that backs up, it's installed on the computer. Management server performs centralized management and distributes plans to the agents - you can create a centralized plan to store backups locally. Management server doesn't store backups, there is a Storage Node component for it, but it's not necessary to use it.
2. B&R of any version is not compatible with True Image of any version and will refuse to install.
