As much as i undertood u are looking for soft which could make backup of key files and folders on ur system for workstations, also one could make
the complete disk imaging, system disk backup, and restore it as well. Aren’t u?

may be i don’t understand

may be i don’t understand. The thing is that i want to sit in my chair in front of my computer(server), and by clicking on the mouse button make backup of my remote workstations. i guess that acronis true image workstation is some sort of agent, i’ve just visited their site and i think that i’ll need in addition have true image server? have any one used this sollution?

Give Veritas a look at

In reply to online backup

Sounds like you would like to look at Veritas Backup Exec. You can back up files from remote workstations to a central point. Also you might want to consider training users to save files to the server if they need to be backed up, if you have a disk failure on a workstation and the user has been saving information to the worksation all day that information will be lost if they were saving the data to a server with RAID 1 or 5 and the disk goes bad on the server the information is still accessable and you can replace the disk without impacting the users.
