A damaged hard disk can be replaced, but the same can not be said about the stored data. Although lost files can be salvaged with specialized recovery utilities, it would be a better idea to prepare for unfortunate events, like hard drive failures, infections and so on. Paragon Backup & Recovery provides you with the necessary tools to back up important files, the operating system or the entire hard drive. Its functions are very easy to understand, due to its clear instructions and explanations.

The software can be used on Windows XP or any later edition. It is compatible with FAT, FAT32 and NTFS file systems, as well as Linux and Apple partitions and it supports numerous computer bus interfaces. The hardware requirements are modest, so you can run the program even on outdated machines.

You may carry out numerous tasks to protect your data. A series of operations are listed on a compact interface, in different categories. Besides backing up and restoring data, you can also copy a partition or migrate all your data to a new hard drive, create a bootable recovery media or create and manage backup capsules, which are secure areas on the hard drive, specially reserved for backups.

Depending on the selected operation, a wizard will guide you through different configurations. It displays detailed instructions and familiar options, so you should not encounter any difficulties, regardless of what process you wish to perform. When backing up data, the wizard will present you with various choices. You can decide to back up a disk or partition, emails, media files, documents or miscellaneous data. You can also choose different destinations for certain backups, such as local or removable drives, optical discs or FTP servers. Additionally, you can decide to run the backup right away or schedule it.

Paragon Backup & Recovery allows you to switch to an advanced interface, on which you can find additional features, such as differential or incremental backup tasks, archive integrity checks and more. The same wizard will guide you all the way, when you select an action on the advanced interface.

Pros

You can back up and restore specific files, individual partitions or the entire hard drive. The software provides detailed instructions and easy to understand options for each operation. It allows you to choose from a wide variety of tasks, from simple backups to hard disk migrations.

Cons

The wizard loads a bit slowly, while working in express mode. With Paragon Backup & Recovery, your data will be safe, regardless of what happens to your hard drive.
