Which version to get?
Greetings,
I've been taking a peek at these forums and must admit I'm not entirely sure which version suits me.
I'm working at a retail company, and I've been taking images of every new brand of machine I get using Ghost, which has been working nicely. I need the backups in case the HDD breaks or the machine needs a clean install for whatever reason. Now I have machines coming with GPT which I am unable to clone using Ghost. I therefore require a version which HAS to be able to clone GPT disks, preferably dynamic disks as well as basic (if that's even possible?). As far as I know the ATI2013 Plus Pack should support this but I'd like to be sure.
Today I'm using a few workstations where plug in the new hard drive, boot from PXE and run Ghost with all the images centrally stored on a network drive. I would like to keep similar arrangement. But as previously mentioned I'm just slightly confused what version to get since I need to use this for a whole bunch of different system images, not just to backup a single computer.
Best Regards,
Bjarki

You might also want to look at the trial version of ABR11.5 Workstation or the beta of 11.5 SQL, I don't know how it handles Secure Boot (the beta is Windows 8 ready, whereas the current RTM build isn't), but it works fine with UEFI systems.

Alright, so I've tried out Acronis 2013 and it does what I need it to be doing.
However I obviously can't be buying a new licence per image backup. I do believe you have some version of a PXE server, where I could boot directly from the client computers themselves and restore images through the network. After looking through the available products again I'm still confused as to which version suits me, any suggestions?

Bjarki,
I think you need to contact Acronis Sales for your needs as the Acronis standard licence is one per machine.
