Small businesses face the same IT challenges as larger organizations, but they are more vulnerable when it comes to recovering from a disaster. Small companies are dependent on fewer servers, generally have smaller IT staffs, and fewer technical resources than a large enterprise so data recovery requires relatively more personnel and technological assets than those of large companies. In fact, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics states that 93% of all companies that experience "significant data loss" are out of business within five years. As a result, even a single critical server failure could have a dramatic impact on a small business' financial and IT health.

For disaster recovery and system migration in both physical and virtual environments in a Microsoft Small Business Server environment, Acronis^® True Image for Microsoft^® Small Business Server delivers greater flexibility and value for networked small business servers.

Is server downtime costing you thousands of dollars an hour? Acronis True Image for MS Small Business Server is a comprehensive small business server backup and disaster recovery solution that allows you to get back to business as quickly as possible, minimizing downtime.
