Centeral Backup and restore for workstations

Hello Mohamed!

Thank you for your question, I will be glad to help you!

We surely have a solution for centralized backup and centralized recovery for Workstations, but the exact version depends on the details of the scenario you would like to proceed.

Unfortunately we do not have a solution that provides you with the ability for centralized backup and at the same time centralized recovery.

1. In case you need to have all your machines protected and would like to perform centralized backup of all your machines with an ability to recover the the image when required, you need Acronis Backup and Recovery Advanced Workstation. You will be able to deploy one task to several machine or manage them separately, save the archives to any suitable location and set several types of tasks. Also you can convert the backups created the Virtual Machine HDDs (P2V conversion) and perform a quick recovery in case of the system crash. Unfortunately no recovery schedule or restoration of several machine at one time is available.
2. In case you need all your machines to have similar configuration - and restore several computers simultaneously - you will need Acronis Snap Deploy for PCs. It allows you boot your machines from network to the PXE and take an image as well as deploy several machines with one backup created. Unfortunately no backup scheduling and imaging of several machines at one time is available.
3. In case you need to backup your virtual machines, feel free to check Acronis Backup and Recovery 10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition.

I would advise you take a quick look through the Quick Start, Installation and Usability Guides for more details. Also please kindly test the solution to be sure it 100% suits your needs, you can find all the trial versions here. Be sure they are free and full functional, the only limitations are

• 15 days of work
• only 5 machines available for deployment/backup
• ABR Advanced Workstation Trial Bootable Media can perform restore operations only

Please note that according to the Acronis License Policy you need one license per one machine you are going to backup and/or restore (ABR) and one license per one machine you need to deploy (ASD).

I would appreciate if you could kindly let us know whether something is confusing you or you have any additional questions - we will be glad to help you!

Thank you!
