What's new in Paragon Partition Manager Professional 10.1.21.236
Jan 6, 2014
- Complete uEFI support:
- A 64 bit Windows OS system configured to the uEFI boot mode can be adjusted to successfully start up on another hard disk during copy/restore accomplished directly under Windows. Previously the uEFI fixup was only available under WinPE
- Enhanced backup format:
- Paragon introduces a pVHD (Paragon Virtual Hard Drive) format – a special VHD, optimized for storing backups of virtual and physical machines. It’s very efficient in handling incremental chains, data de-duplication and synchronization. pVHD allows obtaining backups that are up to four times smaller than original backup objects. What you get by using pVHD:
- Incremental imaging works much faster and rock stable in comparison with the old PBF
- Only pVHD images can be used to do immediate virtualization
- With the new backup t echnology, Paragon has also achieved easy support of any virtual containers (VMDK VHD, etc.)
- Uplifted Recovery Media Builder:
- Paragon’s Recovery Media Builder, a simple alternative to Boot Media Builder, can help you prepare either Linux or WinPE based bootable environment on a USB thumb drive or in an ISO file (previously only creation of WinPE images on USB was supported). Unlike Boot Media Builder, it doesn’t require to have Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) or Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) installed in the system. However, it can only be used under Windows 7 or higher, and its functionality is rather limited.
- Complete support of Windows Storage Spaces:
- Windows 8 has come with a storage management feature called the storage spaces. It enables to easily manage large storage pools. In fact it's an expandable virtual container of defined data size, allowing users to add it as many physical drives as they want until the defined virtual disk’s limit is reached. This makes it easy to include additional storage devices without having to set up and manage each attached physical storage drive.
- Separate x86 and x64 installation packages:
- Please note that started from HDM 14 installation packages do not include Recovery Media Builder, thus customers can build Linux or WinPE - based recovery media only through special utilities (Recovery Media Builder or Boot Media Builder) obtained from Paragon's website.
- Windows 8.1 support:
- Our product has been tested to work fine on Windows 8.1 RTM
- New user-friendly interface that is fully compatible with the Windows 8 streamlined, tile - oriented interface:
- Metro style Express Launcher
- Ribbon based full scale launcher
