Paragon Backup & Recovery 14 Home Editor's Review

A majority of PC users do not care much about backing up data regularly though external storage solutions have become more affordable. However, there are many ways your precious data and files can be damaged or lost. Apart from hardware failure, malware invasion in PC can also result in data loss. While Windows has its own data backup utility, it is rather rudimentary-with not much customization choices or flexibility. Paragon has been a popular name in PC data backup sector and its Backup & Recovery Home is a worthy contender aimed at beginners to mid level users.

The app is ideal for regular data backup and restoration and its cleaner interface wins it some brownie points over rivals like Acronis. Paragon Backup & Recovery Home offers wide OS support starting from now extinct Windows 2000 to the newest Windows 8. The app is compatible with a wide range of system hardware and interfaces as well. It supports SATA, Parallel ATA, eSATA, SCSI and all variants of software and hardware RAIDs. Apart from Windows NTFS and FAT 32, it also supports Linux file systems and Apple HFS+. Before paying for the license you can use it for one month in trial mode. Its hardware requirements are quite modest compared to other apps and Paragon offers handy documentation at its website for installation and usage of the software.

Upon launching the app, you get two prominent options- Restore and Smart Backup.  There are a host of small sized links for other tasks. At the bottom part of app interface you get a link and clicking on it opens the advanced interface. If you are new to such apps, it is prudent to use the app’s Smart Backup option which is wizard driven. With it, you can take backups of entire disks, take backup of media files or Outlook mails, set scheduled backup etc. You may also password protect a backup for escalating safety of sensitive data.

The app’s Sector backup is useful for PC hard disk restoration with all files intact. The data can be backed up on a local drive, an external drive or a network drive. There is option for file back-up as well.

The app may be a tad slower for needs of some users. It is perceptibly slower in saving data to USB drives compared to rival apps. Another drawback of Paragon Backup & Recovery Home is that it is prone to crash occasionally. The interface is easy to use but some features have been made available multiple times, which is rather unnecessary. When file backup is run, the app cannot be minimized, which can be inconvenient for users. While Paragon bundles in a backup scheduler, it lacks much control.

The app lets you create a bootable recovery media both on USB and optical media. The disk-building interface is intuitive and recovery media also works as desired. Its Backup Capsules feature creates optionally-bootable safeguarded partitions but it is something only advanced users should try out.

The advanced interface does come with all bells and whistles you can think of and advanced users can tinker around a lot here. You get the facility to join two and more existing backup archives, in a single achieve. The users may also tweak differential and incremental backup options. While backing up data to an FTP server is now possible with the app, it lacks Cloud integration or online storage, something you get in True Image.

Positive Points:
 -  Wide OS support, low hardware requirement.
 -  Wide file system and hardware interface support.
 -  Decent backup and restoration performance.
 -  Reasonable pricing.

Negative Points:
 -  Lacks Cloud integration or online storage.
 -  Occasional App crashes happen.
 -  Interface needs some refinement.

Conclusion:
Overall, Paragon Backup & Recovery Home is suited for beginner to intermediate level PC users looking for a capable data backup and recovery tool. While it comes with some advanced features under hood, they are not presented in a user friendly manner. The interface may do with a facelift for ease of usage. During various tasks, the app can crash and its speed can be on slower side. If Paragon manages to iron out these glitches, it can be a category leading app.
