Need interim server backup software!

[Oyeve]

My company is still running on server 2003 and we wont be updating until late this year. In the meantime I need a good but cheap backup software solution. Right now we are using Acronis version 9.1 and when it works its meh but more often than not it is a PITA. I am using 2x8TB nas drives and back up around 1TB once a week and incrementals every weekday. What I liked about Acronis is that I can mount an image and just copy a file from that.

My version is extremely old and I dont know if the latest version still supports instant mounting of an image to just drag out a file from an incremental.

So I ask you guys, what back up software do you recommend that is

1. Cheap, like $1000 or under
2. Supports bare metal restoring
3. reliable

I'd try this:

Image for Linux/Windows can do full images or incrementals, and I believe you can mount images to pluck out single files, but I'd email them to be sure. Their cust-serve folks are really good over email too!

Acronis B&R is your best bet for a single server setup. The newest version still has all the same recovery features that your version has had. I'm using 11.5 and have found the backups are very reliable.

What kind of issues are you having with it?
