    "It saved me!"

    May 7, 2013  |   By anastatia_1

    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 advise

    Cons

    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"

    April 21, 2013  |   By Gold Dust

    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

    Version: Paragon Backup & Recovery Free 2013

    Pros

    Fast, reliable, fairly intuitive interface, dosutpno many functions, including differential backups.
    I think if someone has come in properly, it is not to blame for Paragon, and the curves of the hands of users

    Cons

    didn't find anything

    Summary

    I think this product for free is very nice! If I need more room, I'll buy an upgrade to the paid version

    "Difficult to customise"

    April 8, 2013  |   By shylock15

    Version: Paragon Backup & Recovery Free 2013

    Pros

    Easy to download and install.

    Cons

    Cannot be selective in what is backed up - only the whole hard drive is automatically selected, and the operator is n ot able to select what is desired for backup.

    Summary

    Might be limited because it is free.

    "Program quits in the middle of backup"

    April 7, 2013  |   By SilverCelt

    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.
