Installation from Paragon Backup & Recovery 11 Home
During the installation you can choose whether so-called "HotCore drivers" should also be installed in addition to the normal program installation.
HotCore enables copies and backups of locked partitions especially for Windows 2000. They are not installed by default, but if required, they only take up 76 KB on the hard disk.
The program installation Paragon Backup & Recovery 11 Home, on the other hand, requires 159 MB of storage space. However, additional free space of approx. 1 GB may be required temporarily during the installation.

During the installation, the usual Windows security questions are asked whether, for example, the required device software should be installed. This includes the "Paragon Universal Image Mounter".
The installation of Paragon Backup & Recovery 11 Home is now located under C: \ Program Files \ Paragon Software \ Backup and Recovery 11 Home, provided the standard settings of the installation have been adopted.
The program should not be installed on network drives. It is also not recommended to use terminal server sessions to install and start the program, as both lead to restricted program functionality.

Let's start Paragon Backup & Recovery 11 Home using the icon that was installed on the desktop.

The most important functions can be found in quick access on the start screen, the so-called "quick start window".

    Extended surface
    In addition, the manual and access to the "Extended Interface" of Paragon Backup & Recovery 11 Home can be found.
    If the quick start interface is normally sufficient, the "extended interface" goes into the canned.
    Before using the functions of Paragon Backup & Recovery 11 Home, however, a rescue disk should be created via "Tools> Create Rescue Disk".
    So you are on the safe side and can use most of the recovery options via the bootable medium and restore a non-running system.

    Advanced featuresThe rescue disk
    You can choose between flash storage media, such as a memory card or a USB stick, as well as CD / DVD.
    Various creation options are offered

    Typical:
    A Linux / DOS rescue environment can be created here.

    Custom CD / DVD image (iso.file):

    Use the WinPE3.0 rescue environment from iso.file as the rescue environment.
    The WinPE 3.0-based rescue environment is available in the online customer service area as "Paragon Backup & Recovery 11 Home - WinPE based Recovery CD Image".

    I use this file (Paragon-183-HEG_WinPERCD_10.0.17.13783_000.exe) for the creation and so we do not need the program wizard.
    A double-click on the downloaded file starts a burn assistant that guides you through the creation process and burns the rescue environment onto a CD, for example. After the burn process has been completed, it should be checked whether the rescue disk is also functional in an emergency, this can be done in the "Advanced View" under "Tools> Check Rescue Disk".
    This wizard checks the medium for correctness and bootability. But to be on the safe side, it would be a good idea to actually boot with it.

    Now you can take a look at the program.
    The functions, provided you leave the quick start interface and switch to the advanced settings, are diverse, so that I cannot describe them in detail and their application here. We recommend the very helpful integrated manual, which explains everything in detail.

    The screenshot shows the options; additional actions are possible via the menu items, General, Changes, Program Assistant, Hard Disk, Partition, Archive, Navigation and View.
