It's available in 32- and 64-bit flavors, and runs on versions from Windows 10 back to Windows 7 SP1. For just the price of an email address, you can download and try out Paragon's product for 30 days, but the free trial version doesn't include the Paragon Recovery Media Builder utility.

Paragon Backup & Recovery's $39.95 list price is a bit lower than that of NTI Backup Now, which costs $69.99 (but is often offered at significant discount), and Genie Timeline Home, which is $49.95. With the improvements in performance and usability, Paragon has pulled off a major turnaround for Backup & Recover, which I now recommend, though it's not yet at the Editors' Choice level.

In addition to Windows 10 support, the software supports UEFI startup, BitLocker, virtual drives, and Windows Storage Spaces. The company is aggressive about updating the product, now in its 16th version. In the past I've been underwhelmed with Paragon's file-and-folder backup software, especially in contrast with the company's excellent disk-partitioning tools. Ironically, though, the new version is actually more consumer friendly than the last, with new Wizards to take you through the most common backup scenarios.

No continuous backup option for folders.įor the latest version of Paragon Backup & Recover, the company has taken the word Home out of the name.
