This feature is only available for the Windows installation of the program.
Let us list some of the key features:
q Graphical representation of the data to gain a better understanding.
q A handy launcher to easily find and run the required tasks.
q Comprehensive wizards to simplify even the most complex operations.
q A context sensitive hint system for all functions of the program.
q Previewing the resulting layout of hard disks before actually executing operations (so-called virtual operations).
q Archive Database to help the user easily manage backup images (get properties, add, delete, mount, etc.).

This feature is only available for the Windows installation of the program. |
q Support of all present day techniques to store backup images:
- Backup to local mounted/unmounted (without drive letter assigned) partitions;
- Backup to a special secured place on the hard disk called the Backup Capsule that has an independent system layout (e.g. a separate partition) and will stay operable should the active file system be damaged. To avoid an accidental removing or unauthorized access of the backup data, this partition is hidden and thus cannot be mounted in the operating system;
- Backup to external media (CD/DVD) to guarantee a high level of data protection as long as the backup media is kept secure;
- Backup to a network drive to stand a better chance of success in case of a hard disk failure.
q Sector backup to save not only all on-disk information but also the system service structures. It is ideal for making a backup image of an entire hard disk or system partitions to guarantee the operating systemÆs working capability.
q Differential backup to a sector image to only archive changes since the last full sector-based image, thus considerably saving the backup storage space. To restore this kind of backup you will require a full image and one of its differentials.
q File backup to save information you really need. If you only care about safety of your e-mail database or particular documents and are not willing to waste the backup storage space, this very feature will suit you at most. Besides an advanced system of filters will help you automate the process of building up contents of the future backup image.
q Incremental backup to a file image to only archive changes since the last full or incremental file-based image. An incremental image is smaller and takes less time to create, but you will require the initial full image and all of its incrementals to restore the latest point of this kind of backup.
q File backup to a sector image. It is a unique technology on the market so far that bridges two principally different approaches of the data backup: the file-based backup and the disk imaging backup. With its help you can now create a sector-based backup of your system to get it back on track in minutes in case of a virus attack or a hardware malfunction and then just make file-based incremental images to the previously created sector-based backup to keep updated only information that is critical for you. Thus you will considerably save your system resources.
q Bootable Backup Capsule to get the choice to launch the Linux or PTS DOS recovery environment every time you start up the computer. With its help you will be able to run utilities under Linux or PTS DOS, and that way to get access to your hard disk for maintenance or recovery purposes.

q Restore an entire disk, separate partitions or only files you need from the previously created backup image.
q Restore with Shrink to restore a backup image to a free block of smaller size taking into account only the amount of actual data of the image.
q Adaptive Restore to successfully recover Windows Vista or 2008 Server to a different hardware configuration. If you need to replace failed hardware and cannot find an exact match for your original system specifications, this feature will help you out. Besides you can even restore a backup image of your real system to a virtual one and vice versa.
q Basic functions for initializing, partitioning and formatting hard disks (create, format, delete). Instead of the standard Windows disk tools, the program supports all popular file systems.
q Mount a partition (assign a drive letter) of any file system type to make it available for your operating system.
q Modify file system parameters (make active/inactive, hide/unhide, change serial number, partition ID, volume label, etc.).
q Task scheduling to automate routine operations. It can be particularly effective when you have to repeat a sequence of actions on a regular basis.

Scheduling is only available for the Windows installation of the program. |
q File Transfer Wizard to make such operations as transferring of files/directories or burning of them to CD/DVD as easy and convenient as possible. Providing access to Paragon backups as regular folders, it may also help to replace corrupted data from a previously created image in case of an operating system failure.
q Recovery Media Builder to create a Linux/DOS bootable media, which can later be used to boot and recover your computer in case of an operating system failure. Moreover, with its help you can save data from partitions of your hard disk directly to compact discs or burn ISO-images. The utility supports various formats of laser discs: CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R, DVD+R double layer, Blu-ray and can handle multi-session burning.
q Network Configuration Wizard to establish a network connection under Linux either to save a backup of a partition/hard disk or just several files on a network computer or retrieve a previously made backup from a network computer for recovery purposes.
