Just got burned by Acronis true image home 2012. It's a real slick product with lots of great features that FAILS to restore your computer after disaster. I have my computer set for scheduled backups with validation turned on and when I went to restore, all the backups I had were bad.
I have a several computers at home running a network, plus several more friends and family that I take care of. I also have a Windows Home Server 2011 running, and plan to use that as the repository for backups. But I want better backup than what is provided on WHS, specifically the ability to mount the images and have the client do a backup right away on bootup if it misses a scheduled backup. Also the ten client limit of WHS kinda sucks
I would prefer to have a network solution but can live with regular backup software being loaded on to client computers. Most of all it must have reliable bare-metal backup and restores. Any ideas guys?
