Function:

Recovery feature

WinPE recovery environment (new)

An updated version of the environment before Windows installation (WinPE 4.0) provides broader support for hardware configuration and the ability to add 3rd party drivers if your hardware is not supported by default.

Boot Corrector (updated)

Powerful utility to restore booting of operating system. Available in Linux, DOS and WinPE environments.

Restore selected

Extract individual files and folders from archives without restoring the entire copy. Use the Restore Wizard and simply highlight the files you want to recover.

Paragon Adaptive Restore 3.0

The latest Adaptive Restore helps you restore system backups on completely different hardware from the backup location created, or move your operating system from the old computer to the new computer. All required drivers will be added easily, making it possible for your operating system to boot on new or replaced hardware.

Align partition to restore

Aligning partitions during the recovery process to a new hard drive ensures that there will be no loss of performance due to incorrect partition alignment.

Better network support for the WinPE recovery environment

The WinPE recovery environment can easily establish a network connection within your private network. If you store backups on your NAS or other computers on your network, you can easily access them directly from the Paragon recovery environment.

Backup feature

Smart backup wizard

Quickly back up files and folders: My Documents, My Media Files, My Email Folders. Easily protect valuable data without having to install backend configuration. You can take advantage of archery backups for the same purpose by creating archives for entire partitions (with all redundant data).

Incremental (new)

Unlike the differential, the incremental type not only contains data that has been changed since the creation of the comprehensive storage, but also allows saving time and storage space. With this type of disk copy, backup efficiency to network storage has been increased by up to 200% thanks to advanced technology.

Backup and restore to or from FTP / sFTP

Download backups to off-site storage for a higher level of protection in the event of a failure. Restore your operating system and data even when other backup media and backups cannot. When using sFTP, the data transmission to the external server is protected and encrypted.

Handling options

Direct backup is the main feature for any backup software. This software has a flexible configuration and is enhanced for two different processing methods: Paragon HotBackup and Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).

Back up periodically

The ' Set and forget ' backup policy will make regular backups and automatically manage them. Just set the number of backup points you want to store, or the maximum amount of space allocated for storage, and the program will automatically manage regular backups based on those conditions.

Backup encrypted

To avoid unauthorized access to your backup files, you can easily encrypt them inside the backup wizard.

Improve write operations by using asynchronous backup

Enhance the backup process speed by using asynchronous write operation.

Updated email notifications

Paragon Backup & Recovery can notify you of the status of the backup task by sending an email. When installing the SMTP server, you can easily check that the configuration works by sending a test email.

Scheduler and script creation tool

Automate tasks with the scheduling tool built into the software. The scripting tool provides many advanced scripting options such as remote execution, disk / partition attribute analysis, error management, etc.

Move feature

Copy partition or hard drive

Make an exact copy of a separate partition or entire hard drive.

Move the operating system to another hardware (updated)

Move existing systems and make them bootable in new hardware environments.

Advanced file exclusion function when copying hard drive

Easily exclude selected files and folders when copying partitions or entire hard drives to new devices. This is really helpful when you move to an SSD that provides less space than your old hard drive.

Support latest hardware and software

Support for Windows XP / Vista / 7/8 (new)
