HARD DISK MANAGER 15 PREMIUM ESD. Backup, Disaster Recovery and Disk Optimization for Servers and Workstations

Lifecycle of your hard disk

Hard Disk Manager 15 Premium combines all of Paragon's technologies and expertise in storage lifecycle management, data protection and sanitization within stand-alone physical and virtual Windows environments.

• Innovative backup imaging technology opens up 10x faster incremental imaging to the net, instant virtualization without restore, fast backup data de-duplication, etc.
• Differential and incremental backups, and exclusive file complements to minimize storage requirements and optimize backup speeds
• Exclude filters for enterprise-level applications provide for better backup performance, minimize backup storage requirements, and eliminate interference with special-purpose backup tools
• Task scheduling and scripting to combine multiple operations in one job and automate the execution (Paragon Retention Wizard and Cyclic Backup to VD Wizard)
• Any backup destination, including locally mounted/un-mounted partitions, external storages, CD/DVD/Blu-ray discs, flash drives, network shares, SFTP/FTP servers as well as the secured hidden partition (Backup Capsule)
• Remote connection of virtual drives through vSphere interface to accomplish drive partitioning, data exchange, or OS migration of Windows virtual environments hosted by ESX
• Any type of migration for Windows XP SP3 and later platforms ( P2V Copy, P2V Restore, V2P, V2V, P2P, Windows OS to SSD, etc.)
• Operation with virtual disks as if they were physical (Connect VD)
• The fastest and safest partitioning engine on the market - our product does the job with minimal time and risk
• Automatic partition alignment optimizes the drive for performance and longevity (not all operations are supported**)
• Fast data exchange between physical and virtual disks, between virtual disks of different hypervisors, or between a virtual disk and its snapshots
• Exclusive optimization of NTFS file system (MFT defragmentation and shrinking)
• Easy management of several operating systems on one system
• It offers flexible Technician Licensing options for professionals managing mid-size groups of co-located servers.

• Live imaging and migration of Windows systems with two snapshot technologies - Microsoft VSS and Paragon Hot Backup™ to guarantee fast and reliable live protection
• Migration of servers to virtual environments (P2V) or from virtual to physical (V2P) provides flexibility and increased availability of hardware and applications
• Scheduled and unattended backup operations that are fully compliant with set-and-forget backup policies
• No hardware dependency with Paragon Adaptive Restore™; our technology guarantees that any Windows since 2000 will boot on dissimilar hardware (P2P) by automatically injecting the required drivers and performing other operations crucial for this type of migration
• Manage virtual drives in a non-destructive mode; all changes to the mounted virtual disk are saved to a snapshot, guaranteeing the maximum possible safety of the original data (Connect VD)
• Restore at a granular level minimizes downtime by allowing the user to restore individual files if there is no need to restore an entire image
• Comprehensive recovery environments based on DOS, Linux, and WinPE* are available on CD/DVD/Blu-ray, flash drives, thumb drives, or Backup Capsule to quickly get systems back on track when they fail to boot. They also help retrieve valuable information from damaged hard disks and accomplish bare-metal system deployment
• Exchange Granular Recovery to get transparent access to backup mail databases of MS Exchange Server 2003/2007/2010 using the standard facilities of MS Outlook 2003/2007/2010 for easy and fast data recovery at a granular level
• Boot problem correction without restore (Windows system registry modification in off-line mode, MBR, BCD, and the Boot.ini file correction, etc.)
