Choose one of eight short cut wizards or create your own backup strategy with predefined options in just a few clicks!

FREIBURG, Germany – August 9, 2017 — /BackupReview.info/ — Paragon Software Group (PSG), a leader in data backup, disaster recovery, and data migration solutions, releases Paragon Hard Disk Manager 16 Preview – a complete all-in-one solution to protect, maintain, and manage PC systems and data. Paragon Hard Disk Manager 16 Preview includes comprehensive backup, recovery, and partitioning features for managing modern storage devices. The 16th version comes with a completely redesigned, intuitive UI, new handy scopes to represent feature sets, and advanced features to accomplish system and data management tasks – even the most advanced ones — easier than ever.

Paragon Hard Disk Manager 16 Preview provides advanced users full control via extra backup strategy settings. The new Create Backup Job Wizard feature makes complex backup processes simple and ultra-fast, allowing users to define automatic backup jobs by selecting from predefined strategies. Create Backup Job Wizard has several built-in automatic backup strategies to choose from, or users can create their own. When creating your own backup strategies, users can specify the start time (daily, weekly, monthly, or at specific events, such as system start or user login), adjust the number of increments created, define a strategy for deleting old archives, and control other options, such as shutting down the PC after backup. Another handy new feature is the creation of network connections, which are used to save backups on networked storage.

New features and key benefits:

  • Free to use for an unlimited time (no free upgrades to later versions);
  • Completely new UI helps users manage systems easier than ever;
  • Define scenario-based backup jobs;
  • Quick “stand-alone/single time” backups;
  • All wizards redesigned to cover more scenarios.

The new UI combines all wizards into modules that represent a specific feature set to guide users to the right selection:

Backup & Recovery:

  • Create single backup;
  • Create backup job;
  • Restore backup;
  • File Transfer Wizard.

Partition Manager:
