– Linux and WinPE bootable recovery media options – Unique backup capsule feature that lets you store the backup on a local hard disk in a hidden partition for easy recovery if they active partition fails I believe Paragon is the only freeware one I mention here that supports differential backups. – Differential backups so that you can create one full image and then save space on future backups. – Complete disk backup including GPT disks
Here’s a list of features that make Paragon one of the best freeware utilities in this category. It’s been around for a very long time and therefore the software is polished and works perfectly on all versions of Windows from Windows 2000 to Windows 8.1 32-bit or 64-bit. It has a slew of features and is very reliable. In fact, several backup programs, including my current favorite for imaging and cloning, EaseUS ToDo Backup Free, allow you to make small incremental image backups, recording how the contents of the drive change day to day.Paragon Backup & Recovery is one of my favorite tools for backing up and restoring hard drives at home. Imaging makes more sense for backup, because you can put multiple image backups onto one sufficiently large external hard drive. Then you swap the old drive for the new one, and restore the image to the new drive. I suppose you might choose imaging if you don’t have either an extra bay or a USB/SATA adapter, but you do have an external drive with sufficient free space. You plug a third, spare drive into the PC and create the image file on it. Imaging, on the other hand, requires you to do all of that twice. You plug in the new drive-either in a spare bay, or through a USB/SATA adapter-launch the cloning software, and do the job. If you’re moving to a new drive, cloning is the easier solution. If it’s the drive you boot from, only cloning or imaging can reliably make a working copy. But you can’t just drag and drop an operating system. Why not just drag and drop? That’s fine for an unbootable drive.
