Support for GPT (GUID Partition Table) disks
Support for Microsoft dynamic disks (simple, spanned, striped, mirrored, RAID-5)
Unlike differentials, which capture all changes since the last full image, incremental images contain only changes since the previous incremental. This increases backup speeds and cuts down on storage requirements
Retention Wizard
Set up effective backup schedules for full, differential and incremental backup strategies, in physical and virtual environments
Application-level excludes
Increased backup performance, minimized backup storage requirements, and elimination of interference with special-purpose backup tools by automatic exclusion of MS Exchange, SQL, SharePoint, Hyper-V, or VMware Server from the backup process
Use all functionality available for physical disks on virtual disks with one of the two new options:
- Mount Paragon’s backups (.pbf images)
- Mount a virtual disk in the non-destructive mode. This is a special read/write mode, in which all changes on the connected disk are being saved to a snapshot, thus providing complete safety for the original disk’s contents. If needed, this snapshot can later be merged with its parental disk by using standard tools included with the virtualization software.
- Remote connection of virtual drives through vSphere interface to accomplish drive partitioning, data exchange, or OS migration of Windows virtual environments hosted by ESX.

Get to know the Redistribute Free Space Wizard that helps administrators to easily move disk space from file partitions to the system partition. A daily business task, accomplished within a few steps during the machine is up and running.
See here how to set up a backup task with a simple, yet effective retention policy. Choose which kind of backup you want to initiate, where to store it and how to handle the different, automatically created generations. Define a concrete disc quota and the maximum number of stored backups.
Discover how easy you can restore from a backup located on the network, using the WinPE* Recovery Environment. After mapping the network drive within the recovery environment simply restore the backup to the system of your choice. Use the P2P Adjust OS wizard to automatically upload missing drivers and the restored system will boot on a new hardware.
Learn how to use the Backup Wizard to quickly and easily create a system backup (C: drive). Additional protection is provided by the File Transfer Wizard for files that are critical in a disaster recovery scenario (e.g. File Server Data).
See here how to seamlessly migrate a running Windows® Server to a virtualized environment at your choice and use all the benefits of Virtualization, e.g. Easier Management and Increased Availability of Applications by decreased energy cost.
See here how easily you can generate virtual clones of your Windows® Server System to use all the benefits of high-availability clusters. After processing a P2V copy operation the migration of the Windows® Server into a virtual environment is completed by adding drivers for the used SAS fibre channel controller, i.e. the Windows® Server starts up in a virtual environment with the given hardware configuration.
Use the bidirectional possibilities of state of the Art System Virtualization functionality to ensure minimum downtime in case of a disaster. The P2V-Wizard creates a virtual clone of the physical Windows® Server which in case of disaster can be with minimum efforts, easily and quickly restored into a virtual environment or to new or other hardware once available.
V2V migration features provide more flexibility for the management of virtual environments. Particularly, if you are using different hypervisors, the powerful V2V capabilities of Paragon Hard Disk Manager Premium allow you to move systems between the different virtualization flavors.
All major virtualization platforms available on the market today are supported and seamless migration between them is possible: Microsoft Virtual PC, Microsoft Virtual Server, Microsoft Hyper-V R1/R2, VWware Workstation, VMWare Fusion, VMWare ESX Server, and Oracle VirtualBox 4.0.
** 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.
