Hi, I have a few questions about Acronis. We have Windows 2008 r2 64bit server and there is problem with saving and recovering data. I heard that there are very few Acronis products that work with it, so which version do we need?
Here is the situation: there is a trial version of 2008 r2 server, and in a few days trial will be over, so we bought a serial, but, unfortunately, it requests to reinstall the whole system to be valid. In other words - trial cannot accept activation code of licensed w 2008 server. We called MS, they confirmed that we have to reinstall. So, the problem is to save ALL data on that server, including disk partition, windows reg files, program options (they are configurated properly and work fine) and so on... even running services need to be saved.
So, the main question is: which version of Acronis do we need to order and how to make an absolute copy of previous Windows exept registration? How to save all the data and settings from previous version?

You can't make an "absolute copy except registration" but with data and settings - because the registration and bits that prevent it from upgrading from trial to full in-place are in the same registry where settings from all other programs and services are stored. The product that may be used for this is "Backup and recovery 10 server for windows".
