![]() To EXPERIMENT, create a small 500 meg directory/folder, and set up a paragon backup task for copying that folder to a backup disk, etc, and see how the structure is. I h ave had disk crashes, and have had to RESTORE from paragon images, and believe me, they saved my rear end many times! If this doesnt work for you, you may have to either give in and resort to closed-source 3rd party apps (Easeus Partition Manager, Paragon Partition Manger. Paragon MAY do this, I'm not sure, but I have used both SYNCOVERY and PARAGON for many years, as they are both excellent programs. I use Paragon primariliy for IMAGES of my c: drive, with my working programs, NOT data, so that I can restore that drive in event of disaster.įor my DATA, I have it on a D: drive (couplle terabytes) and I use SYNCOVERY, which can compare my d: drive/folders to myh M: drive/folders (my mirrored drive) and copy things on a file by file basis, AND I can USE the M: drive if hte d: drive blows up. Now, I have not experimented much with Paragon's file backup mechanism, whether it can make a mirrored file of the music, photo's, etc. HOWEVER< my suggestion is that if you have a 4tb drive, with music, photo's, etc, and this is NOT your working c: drive, then get a SECOND 4 tb drive, and do a MIRRORED FILE backup, so that drive (or directories) are a direct match to the original. With this new software version, I could restore my backup.The incremental should take FAR LESS time because you're just backing up changes. The only reason, why I give 3 stars: I could download another community software. Well, it became an even bigger disappointment, as I have discribed above. Therefore I opted for the Community Edition. I was not interested in buying any other product of this company. In case you are interested in this or another of our software." What a scam. A later registration by our service department is unfortunately not possible. ![]() Here is my translation: "End of Registration Period Dear Customer, Unfortunately the registration period for your software on this registration page has expired. I also upload a screenshot of the registration page. But even without knowing German language, you can see there is no date at all. There is no expire date on the package or the CD. This is fraud: My package shows no expire date. The registration website tells you, that the registration period has been expired. Before the installation, you need to register online. I tried to install the Paragon Hard Disk Manager 9.0 Ultimate. Before I used Partition Manager 17 CE, I had gotten Paragon Hard Disk Manager 9.0 Ultimate (in Germany the Paragon Hard Disk Manager is called "Paragon Festplatten Manager") as part of a software package called "DIE ULTIMATIVE FESTPLATTENSUITE 2010" (this is German and means: The ultimate hard disk suite 2010). And this is not the first licencing issue I experienced with Paragon. This software bug makes your Paragon Recovery Media useless when you need it most. And the error message also does not tell you where to pay for the licence. There is no way to provide a new licence to the Partition Manager 17 CE version and there is no licence key needed for the Community Edition. I have no chance to even enter a licence key if I had one. Later when you want to recover your system, you need a licence? It is obviously not ransomware. First, they give you the software for free. The last line says "Your software licence to start this product has expired." Why would a CE (Community Edition) licence expire? In very contrast Paragon's website tells you the Paragon Partition Manager Community Edition is "Absolutely FREE for persolan and home use" (see screenshot). You can see the error message I got when I try to run my Recovery CD while my computer does not boot anymore: The first lines are in German language and talk about limitations of Partition Manager 17 CE which are of no concern in my case. ![]() Licence issues make Paragon Hard Disk Manager 9.0 Ultimate uninstallable and Partition Manager 17 CE to fail in the moment you need it most: The Paragon Recovery Media does not work.
