Paragon Rescue Kit 14 Free Edition
About:
Paragon Rescue Kit 14 Free Edition is a tool with strong backup and a complete collection of powerful rescue wizards.
It is an integrated set of powerful tools that is specially designed to tackle most of the problems you might face while using PC. Its primary objective is to provide all the necessary facilities to get the system back on track when it fails to boot or at least to retrieve valuable data from the failed hard disk. With Paragon Rescue Kit 14 Free you can easily recover an accidentally deleted partition, clean user passwords for Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista/2003/7/8/2008/2012, edit Windows registry, etc.
In order to cope with different tasks, the Paragon Rescue Kit 14 Free contains several components:
Linux/DOS based recovery environment is a multi-platform bootable media that enables to run utilities under Linux or PTS DOS, and that way to get access to your hard disk for maintenance or recovery purposes. Both platforms have their strong sides, for instance Linux can boast support of FireWire (i.e. IEEE1394) or USB devices. It enables to burn CD/DVD discs. However there can be some difficulties with detecting new hardware. DOS in its turn has no problems of that kind but is limited in features. The Linux/DOS recovery environment requires no installation and can be of great help when the system fails to boot. Besides it offers a Windows XP like environment.
WinPE based recovery environment. Paragon Rescue Kit 14 Free offers the option to prepare a WinPE based bootable media. Unlike the Linux/DOS recovery environment it can boast an excellent hardware support and the same interface as the Windows version can. However its system requirements are much tougher.
Enhanced backup format. Paragon introduces a pVHD (Paragon Virtual Hard Drive) format a special VHD, optimized for storing backups of virtual and physical machines. It’s very efficient in handling incremental chains, data de-duplication and synchronization. pVHD allows obtaining backups that are up to four times smaller than original backup objects. What you get by using pVHD:
Incremental imaging works much faster and rock-stable in comparison with the old PBF;
Only pVHD images can be used to do immediate virtualization;
With the new backup technology, Paragon has also achieved easy support of any virtual containers (VMDK, VHD, VHDX).
Uplifted Recovery Media Builder. Paragon’s Recovery Media Builder can help you prepare either Linux or WinPE-based bootable environment on a USB thumb drive or in an ISO file (previously only creation of WinPE images on USB was supported).
Uplifted Linux Recovery Environment. Started from Paragon Rescue Kit 14 the Linux-based recovery environment is based on SuSe 12.3 (more hardware devices supported) and includes:
P2P Adjust OS Wizard to successfully migrate a Windows physical system to a different hardware platform (P2P);
uEFI fixup to clone, restore, migrate 64-bit Windows systems configured to the uEFI boot mode;
Windows 8.1 support.This product has work fine on Windows 8.1 RTM.
New user-friendly interface:
Metro-style Express Launcher;
