Key Features

Basic and Advanced Partitioning - resize, move, hide, merge, restore and convert partitions without data loss. Enhance your server performance safely and quickly, convert file systems, defragment partitions and optimize their cluster size. By using Paragon HotResize ™ technology you can resize a system partition on your server without interrupting its activity.

Real-time Server Disk Backup - due to Paragon's Hot Backup technology and Microsoft's Volume Shadow Copy Service (MS VSS) technology all your applications remain online during server disk backup and cloning without significant performance delays. This allows you to backup and then safety restore complete OS and server driven applications such as MS SQL and MS Exchange. Synchronous Backup of multiple volumes allows backup application data that placed on several volumes or partitions simultaneously.

Rapid system, server applications and data recovery in case of any disaster - recover your server completely even from bare-metal state with all your business applications working 10-times faster than built-in recovery tools. In case of unbootable system Hard Disk Manager includes Powerful Recovery Media - a bootable CD containing full functionality of the program and additionally offering full access to all partitions on local hard drives. So you can access important documents and copy them in secure place, fix crashed operating system with special tool or perform any operation.

Automation of Server Management Routine - Powerful Script Generator to automate any routine operations from server disk imaging to disk partitioning, built-in Scheduler, Differential and Synthetic Backup capability, disk backup image verification, e-mail notifications deliver you completely automatic server management solution, saving precious time and reducing your IT costs.

Secure disk Wiping: completely erase a whole hard disk, a separate partition or just clean free space. It guarantees secure and easy erasure of your critical data, so as it cannot be recovered with any present-day technology. You can choose a wiping method (US DoD or Paragon's algorithm) or even create your own customized method.

Hardware and Software Flexibility - Wide range of software and hardware RAID support, Windows dynamic volumes support, IDE, SCSI, SATA, USB, FireWire hard drives support, local or network backup media support as well as built-in CD/DVD Burner to place server backup images on CD/DVD delivers great flexibility to IT professionals and system administrators.
