7IntroductionParagon Drive Backup 11 Workstation is a complex disaster recovery and system migration solution. Compared to itspredecessor, the current version can boast more efficiency and flexibility. Incremental chains to sector-based diskimages provide for better backup performance and minimize backup storage requirements. Improved Paragon AdaptiveRestore makes bare metal restore to dissimilar hardware easy and fast. After P2V migrations you’ve got not a bunch ofvirtual disks, but ready-to-use virtual machines, etc.In this manual you will find the answers to many of the technical questions, which might arise while using the program.Our company is constantly releasing new versions and updates to its software, that's whyimages shown in this manual may be different from what you see on your screen.What’s New in Drive Backup 11 Incremental backup to a sector image is a further way of optimizing the process of disk imaging. Unlikedifferentials, it may not only contain data changed since the time of creating a full sector-based archive, but oneof its increments as well, thus allowing to save more time and the backup storage. Introduction of a specialindex file that stores backup meta-information minimizes time and resources to create this type of archives. The updated P2P Adjust OS Wizard to successfully start up a Windows physical system on a different hardwareplatform (P2P) by allowing injection of all re
