Paragon Backup & Recovery does
an excellent job of making the
process of backing up as simple as
possible, holding your hand with a
wizard-driven interface. You can

opt to back up your entire
computer, partitions, select files
and folders based on location, or
files based on their type.
Once that’s done, just set a

schedule and choose the type of
backup you want to want to
create and then leave the software
to take care of things by itself.
That’s not all – as the latter
portion of its name suggests, this
isn’t just a backup tool. Paragon
Backup & Recovery is a whole data
management toolkit, and also
includes an impressive CD or
USB-based recovery system that
can be used to get your data
back  even if you’re not able to
boot into Windows.
It’s all very impressive. Once

Not a traditional backup tool by
any means, it is cloud-based and

Google storage you have. You’re
given a limited amount of space
for free, and there are various
ways to boost it without having to

part with any money, but in reality
Google Drive is going to be useful
for backing up individual
directories – not a whole system.
For backing up key files and
folders, however, it’s superb. You
can easily specify any number of
folders to monitor, and any
changes are implemented
near-instantaneously.
The software can be used to
synchronize files between
computers, and they are
accessible through on any device
via the Google Drive web app. It’s
an excellent, if slightly limited,
backup tool.
