PARAGON Backup & Recovery

PARAGON Backup & Recovery is a powerful tool for backing up and recovering data on Windows computers. In addition, the program has a whole set of equally useful tools for working with partitions and disks.

First of all, with Backup & Recovery 14 Free Edition you can back up important data. The program is capable of making a complete backup of all information on the disk, including the system structure. Thus, it allows you to make a backup of the system disk/partition, which you can deploy to a new disk or an old one after formatting and get a ready-made system with all the programs and settings.

In addition, the program can make an incremental backup of data, saving only the changes made after the last full backup.

One more interesting feature of this program is creation of backup capsules. A Backup Capsule is an independent partition on your hard drive that stores all your information. In case the primary disk partition is damaged or formatted, this capsule remains intact, as well as all information inside it. To prevent accidental deletion or unauthorized access to the capsule, it is hidden and does not appear in Windows.

Backup & Recovery 14 Free Edition can back up partitions or an entire disk to pVHD (Paragon Virtual Hard Drive) format - special images optimized for storing data backups.

As for data recovery, this program allows you to recover an entire disk, individual partitions or only the necessary files from previously created copies.

Also Backup & Recovery 14 Free Edition has a number of features for working with hard disk partitions. The program allows you to create, format, delete, hide partitions, assign partition letters, check the integrity of the file system and test the disk surface.

The program allows you to work with archives. It can create bootable archives, mount and dismount archives, add/delete archives to/from database, etc.

Backup & Recovery 14 Free Edition supports disks with NTFS (v1.2, v3.0, v3.1), FAT16/32, Linux Ext2FS, Linux Ext3FS, Linux Ext4FS and others. It also supports MBR (Master Boot Record) and GPT.

Despite its impressive functionality, Backup & Recovery 14 Free Edition is completely free.
