8IntroductionParagon Drive Backup 10.0 is a complex disaster recovery and system migration solution. By implementing in thisproduct all cutting edge technologies, including the next generation of Paragon Adaptive Restore , that provides fora successful migration of a Win2K physical system to a different hardware platform (P2P) the company has offeredall the necessary facilities to build a bullet-proof shield against any disaster.In this manual you will find the answers to many of the technical questions, which might arise while using theprogram.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 10.0 Next generation Adaptive Restore (P2P Adjust OS) to successfully migrate a Win2K physical system to adifferent hardware platform (P2P) by allowing automatic injection of all required drivers and the otheractions crucial for a migration of this kind. Smart Backup Wizard to secure system and data with the minimal efforts possible. With a unique intelligentwork algorithm and a highly intuitive user interface, you can easily back up exactly what you need - thewhole system, e-mail databases (MS Outlook, Express, Windows Mail) media files or office documents of theMy Documents folder, or any other files and folders. Smart Driver Injector to make the process of adding new drivers for P2P operations smooth and easy. Support for the latest Windows 7. Backup to an FTP server to provide a new level of system and data protection. Selective Restore to easily extract files and folders from a backup image with the Restore Wizard withoutthe need to restore the whole image. Scheduling for the File backup to set up a timetable for any file-based backup operation, thus providing anew level of flexibility. Boot Corrector for WinPE to fix most of the system boot problems not only with the Linux and PTS DOSbootable recovery environments, but WinPE 2.1 as well. The latest Linux kernel to enjoy support of a wider range of hardware configurations, including the brandnew Intel ICH9 chipset. WinPE 2.1 based bootable recovery environment to enjoy support of a wider range of hardwareconfigurations with the option to add drivers for specific hardware on-the-fly. More flexibility for online data processing techniques to provide for easier configuration for both, ParagonHot Processing and Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). Better support for 64-bit platforms to reboot your computer to one of the three special modes (Windowsnative, Linux, or DOS) to automatically complete operations, which cannot be accomplished under 64-bitWindows.Copyright 1994-2009 Paragon Software Group.

9 Automatic data exclusion with an advanced system of filters will help you automate the process of buildingup contents of the future backup image, by excluding irrelevant data such as movies, music, etc. Better support for GUID Partition Table (GPT) to back up and restore not only single GPT volumes but entiredisks, including the option of resize during the restore operation. Better support for the Apple Boot Camp Configuration with the option not only to back up and restore thiskind of configurations, but to copy single volumes or entire disks with resize. 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.Product ComponentsIn order to cope with different tasks, the product contains several components: Windows based set of utilities is the crucial part of the product. With the help of an easy to use launcheryou may find and run tasks of any complexity in the field of data and system protection, hard diskpartitioning and cloning, etc. Linux/DOS based recovery environment is a multi-platform bootable media that enables to run utilitiesunder 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) orUSB devices. It enables to burn CD/DVD disks. However there can be some difficulties with detecting newhardware. DOS in its turn has no problems of that kind but is limited in features. The Linux/DOS recoveryenvironment requires no installation and can be of great help when the system fails to boot. Besides it offersa Windows XP like environment. WinPE based recovery environment. Especially for keen followers of Windows, our product also offers aWinPE 2.1 based bootable media. Unli
