Paragon Backup & Recovery is a free-to-use application that allows users to create backups of data in order to protect it. Various errors can render data unusable, operating systems might need to be reformatted or a whole partition might become corrupted. These are just a few reasons for which a tool like this one should be used in order to create a backup that contains the most important data on the computer. The application features a limit on how big the backup can be, but this is imposed in order to allow the user to have easier access to a backup file.

The program is free to use and its main tools are presented on a sidebar in the left area of the screen. Here, the user can choose one of the two main options: he can either create a backup of existing files or he can import a backup image into the tool and recover its contents. Both of the tasks are handled by wizards and the user has little involvement – he only needs to select files that have to be added and he has the possibility to apply little tweaks. Other than that, the tool itself will create the most reliable backups that ensure a full data recovery.

The application is compatible with every Windows version, so many users can benefit from its features. There are also a couple of more tools that can be used in order to create better backups and make use of other settings, but the two main wizards should be enough for the average user. Both of the processes are achieved within a matter of minutes, usually, as the speed of the tool is pretty good. Also, the descriptions of each process are carefully explained in order to leave no room for confusions
