Started with trying to backup Windows server 2003 across the network onto mkhqfile server with aid of Acronic Version 8........unsuccessful. Alan always knew it would not work. He wanted me show the restrictions and shortcomings. He forwarded me the mail containing the downloadable version of Acronis True Image server 9.1 along with the key. He taught me the basics that why do we need a different version for backing up servers. I had to create a CD and a bootable CD unlike a version 9 one which was bootable. I learnt what makes a CD bootable and how to write them. we did all the tests and now intend to backup the mkhqfile server once its been updated by Steve with Microsoft CRM databases.
