Installing the Program under Windows

As we have already mentioned only Windows components of the product require installation. So to install Paragon Drive Backup The term backup originates from the time when the best way to protect valuable information was to store it in form of archives on external media. It's become now a general notion to mean making duplications of data for protection purposes. 9.0 under Windows, please do the following:

 

1. Run Setup Application

Click on the DriveBackup.MSI file. This application will guide you through the process of the program installation. The setup utility is compiled with the InstallShield SDK, hence it contains the standard user interface and set of installation steps.

 

In case there is some previous version of the program installed on the computer, the program will offer the user to uninstall it first.

 

2. Starting Setup

The Welcome page informs that the application is being installed. Click the Next button to continue.

 

3. Confirm License Agreement

The License Agreement page displays the Paragon License Agreement. Read the agreement and then select the appropriate option to accept. If you do not agree with any conditions stated there, the installation process will be interrupted. By clicking the Print button, the License Agreement may also be printed out.

 

4. Provide Customer Information

On the Customer Information page you are to provide the standard information, i.e. a user name and an organization. Besides you need to decide whether to make the program available for all users of this computer (if several) or only for the current one.
