![]() ![]() The partitioning module of Paragon Hard Disk Manager 16 supports basic partitioning operations only. The backup tool supports a handful of additional features you need to enable advanced settings for that, and may change the compression level, backup file size limits, and password protection then. Backups can be stored on external devices, local volumes, network shares, or burned to optical media. It supports creating backups of the system partition, select disks or partitions, file types, or files and folders. The application walks users through the steps of creating backups with a wizard. A click on a locked icon opens a "enter serial or buy" prompt.īackup & Recovery Free comes with options to create single backups or backup jobs, to restore backups, and to transfer files (from one location to another). Paragon indicates this with a red lock symbol. The last two, disk wiper and disk copy, are not available in the basic version however. It loads the backup & recovery tab by default, and you may switch to the disk partitioning, disk wiping or copying tab instead if you need to use those tools. The program displays its functionality in tabs in its interface. The commercial version of the application adds advanced partitioning, disk cleanup and migration, and backup automation to the feature set. The free edition of Hard Disk Manager 16 supports the following core operations: basic partitioning, backup and restore, and recovery media builder. Hard Disk Manager 16 Basic displays a prompt to create recovery media on first start, and you may do so under Home > Recovery Media Builder as well. Tip: It is recommended that you create Recovery Media before you start using other tools of the program. While you can start the sign up process in Hard Disk Manager 16 Basic, you are required to verify the email address you enter, and set a password on the Paragon website to complete it. The process is not as straightforward as entering account data in the application though. Activation requires that you create a Paragon account. The basic edition of the program is free, but you are required to activate it in the first five days after installation. The software program has a size of about 150 Megabytes, and can be downloaded as a 32-bit and 64-bit version for Microsoft Windows systems. ![]() It has first appeared in Windows Vista Enterprise and Vista Ultimate to protect contents of hard disks from offline attacks for instance, when your hard disk is stolen and connected to another computer to retrieve data it contains.Paragon discontinued the free editions of Partition Manager, Backup & Recovery, and Rescue Kit Free, but instead of just shutting down the products, the company created Hard Disk Manager 16 Basic which includes the functionality. To optimize storage capacities our product supports the incremental imaging, where each new increment describes the changes between the current state of the backup object and the previous state.īitLocker is a security feature that enables to protect data of your volumes with 128/256-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption. Resulted virtual containers can be stored on a local disk (mounted/unmounted), a mapped network share, or by UNC path. If using pVHD – there will be available additional options like high-level compression, encryption, or image splitting. If using VHD/VHDX as target backup format, you can attach the resulted backup image to an existing virtual machine of Hyper-V and OS will be launched successfully. Hyper-V guest machines can be backed up directly to pVHD, VMDK, VHD, or VHDX virtual containers. External hosts with their guest machines are not supported, please use Paragon’s Protect & Restore to accomplish this type of scenarios. ![]() The current version can only protect entire virtual machines (online or offline) registered on a local Hyper-V host, where our product is deployed. Thus our solution doesn’t need an agent on a target virtual machine to create its point-in-time copy including its configuration, operating system, apps, etc. Unlike traditional backup tools designed to work with physical machines, our product can operate at the virtualization layer, employing MS VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service) to agentlessly backup/restore any guest machine of Hyper-V. ![]()
