A reliable restore is part of a good data backup. Paragon Backup & Recovery 11 Home is a comprehensive and extremely flexible software for data backup and recovery. The software, equipped with a current WinPE 3.0 rescue medium and three other rescue environments, starts systems that were thought to be lost and comfortably restores the operating system and data.

Paragon Backup & Recovery 11 Home places a special focus on the flexible restoration of the backed up data and operating systems.

 

Paragon Backup & Recovery 11 September 20, 2011 - Paragon Software Group has optimized its data backup and recovery solution. The software includes even better hardware support for the emergency medium. In addition to the boot medium based on WinPE 3.0, it offers the option of restoring data using three other rescue environments: Linux, DOS or directly via the installed Microsoft Windows. With the new version of Paragon Adaptive Restore, any Windows version from Windows 2000 onwards can be restored on different hardware. SSDs and hard drives with more than 2 terabytes are also supported. Paragon Backup & Recovery 11 Home is now available at www.paragon-software.de at a price of 39,95 euros.  

Convenient functions for data recovery and backup
"The quality of data backup software is evident in the restoration", explains Paragon managing director Konstantin Komarov."Nobody wants to be bothered with complicated recovery operations these days, but entrust the task of data recovery to a convenient software solution. With four different options, we offer our users a lot of flexibility and thus a reliable backup of their data in every situation."

  • Compared to the previous version, Paragon Backup & Recovery 11 Home includes the following new features: 
    Comprehensive hardware support through rescue CD based on WinPE 3.0: the Windows 7 system kernel enables the most reliable recovery process on the market to date and allows users to add new, future drivers. Paragon Backup & Recovery Home can also be used with almost all functions via the boot CD. Thanks to the unchanged user interface and guidance, using the medium is particularly straightforward.
  • Paragon Adaptive Restore 3.0 for restoring a system backup on different hardware and for migrating the operating system to a new computer; Adaptive Restore analyzes the missing drivers for the new hardware and installs them on the migrated operating system.


     
  • P2P wizard for adapting an installed operating system: Start a physical Windows system on a different hardware platform by integrating all the required drivers; the wizard contains the third generation of Paragon's Adaptive Restore technology
    - Analysis of all installed drivers within a target system in order to report missing boot-relevant drivers;
    - Search for and installation of missing drivers either from Windows' own driver pool or from a folder specified by the user;
    - Notification of the user about boot-critical drives without drivers (HDD / RAID controller);
    - List of all drives by their model description, not by the alphanumeric code;
    - Determination and installation of drivers not only for boot-critical drives, but also for network cards.
  • Extended network support for WinPE 3.0 for easy access to network backups directly from the Paragon recovery environment
  • Support of AFD hard disks with more than 2,2 terabytes as well as SSDs
  • Support of new GPT partition tables
  • Convert MBR-formatted hard drives to GPT format without data loss
  • Improved write operations with asynchronous data backup leads to increased speed when performing backups (especially for backups via USB 3.0 and on internal hard drives)
  • Correct alignment of partitions during bare metal restore
  • Encrypted data backup to avoid unauthorized access to backup archives
  • Improved file exclusion when copying partitions or entire hard drives
  • Installation of the software without restarting the PC.

In addition, backup during operation (hot backup) has been improved so that users can continue working normally while the backup is being created. The option of selective restoration is still included, whereby individual components of a backup can be reconstructed without having to restore a complete backup archive in order to access certain data.
