is it worth it?

Hello! I new to this forum and i'd like to hear your opinions on my question.

so the thing is, i need a good backup sollution for my server. it's working under linux os. i know that there are several good backup progs, but only true image server support imaging and disk clonnig operations. so the question is, have anyone tried this software is it worth to buy it? any advice appreciated! tnx!

pharell,
Have you explore backup options offered by your data centre? backing up server is bandwidth intensive so you want to ensure the backup solutions you buy is one that can be hosted locally on you data centre network

thanks temi for the reply,
about my data centre, all data store on the server, it's not a big network, so there is only one server, i know it's not good, but.....
as i understand from the acronis site, it can be hosted locally, also with it's help i can backup workstations, but it's not the essential, the main thing is to maintain server and if it crashes quickly restore the staff.
any other opinions?

Your network sounds lilke a growing network, for my own home network (consists of 1 server and 3 workstation) I just bough a huge USB storage HDD and backup my important info, not fancy software, I think such solution may be cost effective for you too.

Is this a webserver you're talking about? if so it sounds like a bit of a flying by seat of pants setup. Where is the server located?

yes, it's a kind of growing network, thanks about idea of usb storage, i didn't think about it. may be it would be a good place to store images. thanks

no it's not a web server, but in some time may be it would be.
