What do people here feel about Acronis? Is the new version any good for
production use?

Thanks

I have a very small business customer (~4 users) who purchased a NAS device for 
backups of their Windows 7 machines.  I typically use the Windows 7 backup 
utility for situations like this, however the customer purchased computers 
before I began working with them that are running Windows 7 Home Premium, and 
thus cannot use the Win 7 backup tool since it won't allow network locations.  
They don't want to spend the money on the Win 7 Pro upgrade.  I have used 
Acronis in the past, however I haven't used the latest release and it looks to 
be getting mixed reviews.  Any suggestions on an affordable piece of software 
that would work in this situation?  It would be ideal if it offered options for 
file copy backup and a system image.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Perhaps it's all the bad press I have heard about Comodo, but I have a hard

some amazing features... so I don't want to have a negative bias... 

Has anybody had good luck with Comodo products? Please help me confirm or
