Real-time Server Disk Backup - due to Paragon's Hot Backup technology and Microsoft's Volume Shadow Copy Service (MS VSS) technology all applications remain online during a server backup without significant performance delays. This allows you to backup and then safety restore the complete OS and server driven applications such as MS SQL and MS Exchange.

Fast and Reliable Server Restore - Drive Backup delivers incredibly fast workstation restoration, even from a bare-metal state. You can browse backup images and restore individual files and folders, hard disk partitions and/or entire hard disks. In the event of an unbootable system, Drive Backup includes a comprehensive recovery CD to boot from and access backup images locally or via the network. You can also create custom bootable recovery media containing HDD backup images.

Automation of Server Backup Routine - new Cyclic backup functionality allows you to adjust the necessary number of stored backup checkpoints, or maximum allowed space for backup storage. Drive Backup will automatically manage regular backups in order to fit your conditions. The built-in Scheduler, Differential and Synthetic Backup capability, Cyclic Backup, Paragon Remote Management Console and Client can provide you with a completely automatic solution for both desktops and laptops. You can easily set Cyclic or Scheduled Backup of a single (or multiple) workstation to network drives, USB connected media or Paragon's Backup Capsule and review reports on the PRM Console. This capability will save you precious time and can reduce your network backup costs.

 Adaptive Restore - a special technology that enables to successfully recover Windows Vista or 2008 Server to a different hardware configuration. If you need to replace failed hardware and cannot find an exact match for your original system specifications, this feature will help you out. Besides you can even restore a backup image of your real system to a virtual one and vice versa.
Hardware and Software Flexibility - Wide range of software and hardware RAID support, Windows dynamic volumes support, GPT disks 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 or Blu-Ray discs delivers great flexibility to IT professionals and system administrators.
