As an "old dog" moving to newer versions of Paragon Backup I'm now creating USB stick Recovery Media using the recommended "Use ADK" method. As per the instructions I installed ADK for Windows 10...

I've used Paragon for a number of years and continue to use the legacy PBF (.pfi) file format with HDM15 as it works, and "if it ain't broke ..."

Newer versions of HDM have removed the legacy PBF...

If you're just moving your files from one computer to another why not just use an external USB drive to copy your files onto and then use that to copy them onto the new computer. I don't see any...

It's been my experience that the estimated time displayed by Paragon backup has never been reliable and seems to reflect only the transfer rate of the data that's currently being copied. Some data...

For current versions of Windows 10 you should be using HDM 15 SP5 regardless of the drive size. Windows itself can format a 4TB drive as GPT via the Disk Management console. If you try and format it...

I'm wondering if it might be easier to just partition the 4TB drive into 2x2TB partitions and then I could back up each partition to 2TB drives. The current data drive is actually two 2TB drives in...

Is it possible to create a disk image/backup of a 4TB drive on two removable 2TB drives (might be called 'disk spanning")?

I use HDM15 (registered version) and also bought the v16 update which...

I agree it sucks but I bought the upgrade anyway to support the company (they have to sell something ..). For now I'm still using 16 until there's a compelling reason to start using 17. The overly...

I just use a desktop computer running Windows 10 to restore backups. I attach the drive using a USB adapter, load up Paragon HDM 17 (or whatever#), choose Restore, navigate to the backup files,...

Has this been resolved? Sounds pretty crazy that a newer version of HDM cannot open a older backup and restore individual files without having to use WinPE. Why bother paying for an upgrade if core...

Glad to hear my post was of use to someone :-)

I left the 256GB M.2 SSD that I bought for testing in the MyDigitalSSD M2X enclosure and am using it as an external USB storage device 'on steroids'.

Just did a restore of a Win10 system to a 256GB M.2 NVMe in a MyDigitalSSD M2X enclosure connected via USB-C and it worked perfectly.

Looks like solutions are starting to arrive:

MyDigitalSSD M2X Portable USB 3.1 Gen 2 M.2 PCI Express SSD External Enclosure Adapter

Thought I'd pop in with an update. After transferring the OS+Apps drive to the Samsung 960 M.2 NVMe I discovered that there are few (if any) external options for M.2 NVMe drives. I was able to...

(Please point me to a thread discussing HDM16 Advanced (paid, not free) if one already exists)

I currently use Paragon HDM15 Suite to backup the HD's on my various Windows 10 computers and it...

I turned off image splitting in the program's 'Backup image options'. I think it's there for folks who might want to save backups onto a bunch of DVDs. I too was a bit confused when I first...

I believe that the license is a "per-seat license" meaning that it can be used by only ONE user (ie: ONE license) but can be used on numerous computers as long as they're being used by that same...

Oops .. I just checked HDM15 and 'Exclude from Backup/Copy' is indeed an option.

I'm not going to buy the upgrade this time until I'm sure there's more there than I've seen so far. I need to test the various scenarios I use - such as a scheduled incremental backup files and...

Did you install the Windows 10 Fall Creator's Update? If so Defender Security Center offers new options in the 'Virus & threat protection settings' such as 'Controlled folder access'. If you turned...

I just installed it as a trial to see what was new and I'm not seeing the same options as before. I'll keep looking for a 'expert mode' option - or something like that (if it exists). The...

I used to backup and restore the whole drive w/ all the partitions on a 256GB SSD that contained the Windows 10 OS + a recovery partition + an EFI system partition.

After replacing this with a...

Yes, the email arrived here too a few days ago. Now I need to figure out what's changed from 15 and if the improvements are worth paying for. I'll probably end up installing it as a 30-day trial to...

Is there an upgrade price for Paragon Hard Disk Manager 16 from HDM Suite 15?

I'm also trying to find a document that lists whatever improvements there are over HDM Suite 15 to justify the upgrade...

Well not completely crazy now that I understand what a Backup Capsule is. All my backups are done to external media so it appears I'll still be able to access them as I can now. It's nonetheless...
