I’ve never used Paragon but I guess I’ll try these one. From the features of it, it’s worth trying. Thanks for sharing
Paragon is pretty good. It did not take very long to make a backup image of my entire system drive and verify everything was copied correctly without any data curruption errors. What I like most is I can just extract files from my Paragon created Disk image files without restoring the entire system drive if I just need one file which got currupted or I messed up by accident.
Thanks for the comment!
I think Paragon works well. I would like to try it to backup my files.
Paragon is an excellent choice for data backups since it is very easy to use.
Hi, I never tried paragon before, but I would like to take my PC backup. So I guess this software helps me to take backup in less time. Thanks for sharing…

Hi Naresh, Indeed this software will help you backup in less time. I also believe there is a compression feature for Paragon which compresses your image, so it use less space on your hard drive, so it can save some space.
