I've been using the free version but am going to upgrade to this since it's free.

edit
this is a 112mb file so I feel sorry for those still on dialup.

Thank You.

You can get it at the Paragon web site anytime, unless they just changed it. I got mine a couple of weeks ago. Just Google.

[freebird73717]

Well yeah the free version but this is the one they charge $39.95. You are getting it free from Give away of the day.

They are legit. About a month ago they offered womble mpeg video wizard and a bunch of us here got it.

if you ever need to reinstall you are out of luck though....or is there a way aroudn that?

[freebird73717]

During the installation you get taken to a web page where you can fill out to get a serial number for the software. It is then emailed to you. After you have the serial number I would assume that, should the need arise, if you re-install windows just use the serial number emailed and it would work.

Just following a train of thought though... May be wrong.

The file is "br_free.msi." I downloaded it about a month ago from their site. It was not an obvious link, they prefer you pay, but it was their. I have the file and can restore it anytime. The site is: http://www.paragon-software.com/home/db-express/download.html

What you have is this

What they are offering is this

yes I google

and yes you do have to download this from GOTD to get the "special edition" for free. If you download from paragon all you are getting is the plain vanilla free version.

This is the best backup software out there. Acronis, Norton, etc -- all crap by comparison.

Downloaded and installed, but not sure I will use it since it does not have Ghost-style drive copy or a WinPE recovery disc.

[hech54]

I have two Ghost images from when I first built this computer...now I have a Paragon backup as well.
I wish there was a way to "back up c: and NOT include any MP3, WMA or WAV files......for my wife's laptop.

[aedipuss]

the reg and serial address is here, if you need multiple copies use different email addresses.

Try this
Tools->Settings->File Backup Exclude Options->Add Category
Name the category whatever you like
Add your filters *.mp3, *.wma, *.wav

Then run your backup. Should now backup everthing excluding those files.

Thank You.
I just realized that I probably can leave off WAV files since Windows uses them too....right?

[ron spencer]

I use CasperXP....how this this one compare?

[freebird73717]

I would if it was me.

Hey ron.
I've never used CasperXP before so I couldn't say.

[hech54]

Did anyone else get the download location "popup" full of question marks?...

[freebird73717]

Yep. Don't know what that was all about.

[aedipuss]

it is the "unwrapper" that's screwed up. to get the decrypted .msi installer uncheck all the boxes and click the lower left ???? button.

works but it is whacky.

[ron spencer]

it is a large download.....seems larger than most for a backup program....just my musings...
