What's new in Paragon Backup & Recovery Free 16 10.2.1
Aug 4, 2017
- Paragon Backup & Recovery 16 comes with a unique user interface and simplified user guide to help set up scenario-based backup tasks with ease. This “set-it-and-forget-it” technology incorporates a brand-new, intuitive approach for defining basic parameters, such as backup type, interval/event, retention, and scenario-based jobs limited to simply selecting “what” and “where.” The new pivotal action panels display user backups and backup states at a single glance.
- Research reveals that one-third of PC users have never backed up their systems at all. The two main reasons cited are lack of time and the tedious nature of the process. The new Paragon Backup & Recovery 16 has been revamped to meet the needs of customers who want to avoid a complicated and time-consuming process. With Backup & Recovery 16, you can set complex backup routines quickly and easily like never before. Paragon Backup & Recovery 16 provides peace of mind for data and system safety, easy and flexible backup, and fast recovery.

- Better support for Linux ExtFS starting from Ext2FS up to the brand new Ext4FS.
- More usability when managing backup tasks with the new Task List and Archive View.
- Windows based set of utilities is the crucial part of the product. With the help of an easy to use launcher you may find and run tasks of any complexity in the field of data and system protection, hard disk partitioning and cloning, etc.
- Linux/DOS based recovery environment is a multi-platform bootable media that enables to run utilities under Linux or PTS DOS, and that way to get access to your hard disk for maintenance or recovery purposes. Both platforms have their strong sides, for instance Linux can boast support of FireWire (i.e. IEEE1394) or USB devices. It enables to burn CD/DVD disks. However there can be some difficulties with detecting new hardware. DOS in its turn has no problems of that kind but is limited in features. The Linux/DOS recovery environment requires no installation and can be of great help when the system fails to boot. Besides it offers a Windows XP like environment.
