[OPLINTECH] Acronis backup solution

[Regina Beach-Bertin]

I've been using Acronis on my personal PCs for many years.  It has saved
my bacon a few times.  In my experience backups and restores are
reliable and easy if you're doing it on and/or from an external hard drive.

Initially, I tried to get Acronis to work on a file server over a
wireless connection.  It kinda limped doing that.  That was quite a
while ago and it may be different now.

Backup verification used to work better several versions ago.  However,
more recently, not so well.  Verification takes many hours, sometimes it
isn't finished even overnight.  I just skip them now.

The developer has a new paid version every year.  It is okay to use old
versions of Acronis for a few years before you pay for a new one.

I can't speak to using Acronis enterprise wide.  It has mostly worked
well for my personal PCs.
