Storage lifecycle maintenance for physical and virtual Windows® workstations!
Hard Disk Manager Professional includes all facilities to help IT administrators efficiently maintain stand-alone Windows desktops and laptops through their life cycle with minimal effort:
Support for SSD, AFD, 2TB+ and non-512B sector size disks
Any type of migration for Windows 2000 and later platforms (P2V, P2V Restore, V2P, V2V, P2P, OS to SSD, etc.)
Automatic partition alignment allows to get the most of physical and virtual data storages (not all operations are supported*)
Enable support for modern high capacity drives (2.2TB+) under Windows XP and later platforms (GPT Loader)
Time-proved drive partitioning of any complexity for physical and offline virtual disks
Any backup destination, including local mounted/un-mounted partitions, external storages, CD/DVD/Blu-ray discs, network shares, SFTP/FTP servers as well as the secured hidden partition (Backup Capsule)
Differential and incremental backups, and exclusive file complements allows different data time-stamps with no duplication, and minimizes backup storage requirements
Task scheduling and scripting to chain multiple operations into one job and automate execution
Operation with virtual disks as if they are physical (Connect VD)
Fast data exchange between physical and virtual disks, between virtual disks of different vendors, or between a virtual disk and its snapshots
Exclusive defragmentation for NTFS and FAT (27 strategies, MFT defragmentation and shrinking, etc.)
An advanced system of filters automates the process of building up backup contents by excluding irrelevant data
Easy management of several operating systems on one computer
Live imaging and migration for Windows systems with two snapshot technologies; Microsoft VSS and Paragon Hot Backup™ to guarantee fast and reliable live protection
Complete infrastructure for establishing a self-acting data protection system that is fully compliant with the set-and-forget backup policy
No hardware dependency with the next generation of Paragon Adaptive Restore™; our technology guarantees any Windows since 2000 will boot on different computer hardware (P2P) by automatically injecting the required drivers and other actions crucial for this type of migration
Restore at a granular level minimizes downtime if there's no need to restore an entire image; you choose only the files you want
Comprehensive recovery environments based on DOS, Linux, and WinPE 3.0 are available on CD/DVD/Blu-ray, thumb drives, or Backup Capsules to quickly get systems back on track when they fail to boot. They also retrieve valuable information from damaged hard disks and accomplish bare-metal system deployment
Boot problems correction without restore (Windows system registry modification in the off-line mode, MBR, BCD, and the Boot.ini file correction, etc.)
Encryption and password protection for backups guarantees security for confidential data
Four wipe algorithms (custom, US DoD 5220.22-M, Russian GOST R 50739-95, Paragon’s algorithm) to destroy all on-disk information or only remnants of deleted files / directories without affecting the used data
Support for all latest hardware, including all SCSI, IDE and SATA RAID controllers, SSD, AFD, 2TB+ and non-512B sector size disks, Blu-ray drives, USB 1.x/2.0/3.0 and IEEE 1394 (FireWire) devices, PC card storages, and many more...
Support for popular virtual machines, including MS Virtual PC, VMware Workstation, VMware Fusion, and Oracle VirtualBox 3.0-3.12
Support for GPT (GUID Partition Table) disks
Support for Microsoft dynamic disks (simple, spanned, striped, mirrored, RAID-5)
A special system driver allows use of all space of modern ultra high capacity drives (larger than 2.2TB) under Windows XP and later platforms for storing data
Migrate OS to SSD
Move any Windows OS since 2000 from a regular hard disk to a fast SSD (Solid State Drive) even of a smaller capacity, thanks to advanced data exclusion capabilities
Support for Oracle VirtualBox
Accomplish any type of P2V, P2V Restore, V2P, V2V operations with virtual disks of Oracle VirtualBox 3.0-3.12
Enable to create and properly configure virtual machines; employ MS VSS to synchronously migrate from several hard disks to ensure data consistency during online migration of a system, which seats on several partitions or hard disks
Allows creation of virtual machines as well, so besides its primary function, you can now build virtual machines out of virtual disks or Windows .vhd backup images
Reports on devices without drivers; searches for and installs lacking drivers from Windows repositories; notifies about boot critical devices without drivers; names devices according to model description, determines and install drivers for NICs
WinPE 3.0 bootable environment
Enjoy support of a wider range of hardware configurations with the option to add drivers for specific hardware on-the-fly
* Automatic partition alignment is always active during create/move operations, active during redistribute free space/resize operations only when the left partition boundary is affected, active during copy/restore operations with resize only.
