Acronis - Dynamic disk

Acronis have I used many times and also thought this would be an standard job. But on a Dell Poweredge SC430 I used Acronis Disk Director suite 10 in the startup it comes that it is dynamic disks and it is not supported.

SO - what can I do. Of course it is a server and of course before I do anything I have to make an image of the whole server.

Is there any tool that supports dymanic disks as acronis  or what could the solution be

I forgot to say what I had to do. There are two partitions C and D - and I have to move space from D to E - true image is for cloning :)
From D: to C: of course!
If you want to >> image the whole server <<  as you stated in your original question, then TrueImage is what you should be using, Disk Director is for managing and resizing partitions.
I am able to make a backup of the server. The problem is that I need to move space from D: to C:
That's not what you said in the original question !

Pargon Disk manager (server) supports dynamic disks http://www.paragon-software.com/business/pm-server/features.html

I wrote nothing about the job actually - I just wrote, that I have to make a image of the server, before I do anything - which was regarding move space, where a backup before such a operation is a must.

I try to look at paragon

Actually acronis is not able to take a backup of the dynamic disks - It doesn´t even recognise the disks
