"It saved me!"
Version: Paragon Backup & Recovery Free 2013
Pros
Yesterday I had a failure of the operating system. I was very frightened, because there there data on the operation, photos, videos, etc. All my life! Backup & Recovery free has saved me! I use this program recently, but now only remain accurate with it. Paragon successfully and quickly regained all my data.
What else do you want from a free backup?
I adviseCons
none for now.
Summary
Really reliable utility for backup. It has all the necessary functions

"Can Use A Flash Drive ON Paragon Backup & Recovery 10.2"
Version: Paragon Backup & Recovery Free 2013
Pros
You can use a flash drive. It's very easy to use on the Paragon Backup & Recovery 10.2.
Cons
The Paragon Backup & Recovery 2013 would not install, something about the dvd player not working. I do not know if you can still get the Paragon Backup & Recovery 10.2. I did install the Paragon Backup & Recovery 2011 & 2012 and 2013 but I did not like any of them so I went back to the 10.2.
Summary
The Paragon Backup & Recovery 10.2 works better than the Paragon Backup & Recovery 2011, 2012 or the 2013. I think that you have to have a dvd player without errors and I do believe that you can not use a flash drive. I know that the Paragon Backup & Recovery 10.2 works great because I had to use it when my computer crashed and all I had to do to get back onto my computer was to use the flash drive and go to the backup set than wait about one hour, now that was Awesome. Also all the help is right there and you have to go online to get help from the 2012 or the 2013 versions. You have to have an external drive to you a flash drive, you can also go online but how are you going to get online when your computer is down.
Just think of all the disks you will have to have to backup your computer when a backup external drive would be a lot faster and a lot better, remember time is money.
You can go here you may still be able to get it: http://www.paragon-software.com/result.jsp -

"Difficult to customise"
Version: Paragon Backup & Recovery Free 2013

"Program quits in the middle of backup"
Version: Paragon Backup & Recovery Free 2013
Pros
It is free
Cons
The program shuts down while in the middle of a backup. I have uninstalled and reinstalled three times and still get the same error message. Am running a laptop with Vista 32-bit Home Premium, Pentium Dual CPU @ 1.73 GHz, and 2 GB of RAM, and am backing up to a 180 GB external hard drive.
Summary
I will uninstall this program and look for another that will not shut down halfway through the backup.
