Move user folder

Has anyone moved a complete user folder to a new partition using Spilt Partition (Window 7)? Just wondering how well this works and if it is reversible. Does it effect future Windows upgrade? There are various ways of doing it in the internet as well as opinions whether it should be done at all.

HD Manager 15 suite - recovery media doesn't load

I have tried both the linux and WinPE versions of recovery media. Neither will load properly. I made each on new Kinston USB sticks. The linux one boots and I am able to choose the different options but it gets to the point where there is an image of a disk drive on the screen and then hangs. The WinPE boots and starts loading but stops at a black screen and reboots. Completely useless!

Restoring a VD in Backup & Recovery 14

I made an archive of a 1 TB drive with Backup & Recovery 14. I'm now trying to restore the data back to the drive via the "Restore from VD" function. I've selected the directories I wanted restore and the destination drive. The "Overall progress" window pops up but in the last 12 hours the progress hasn't moved past 0%. The details say 'processing partition', 'copying files', 'scan volume', 'create file tree' and that's all.

Is there a trick to get the restoration process working correctly?

I have been trying to get this set up to try and see if it will do what I want to do, but to be honest, this is one of the most non intuitive pieces of software I think I have worked with.
Currently I think I have figured it out with the exception of the username and password.
In order to keep my files safe, I have a 2nd user account on my computer that is backupadmin. This account is the only account that has access rights to my NAS hard drive. When the backup runs, it should use this...

Restore Archive to Smaller SSD???

I'm using HDM 15 Pro (paid)

I'm trying to restore a 'legacy mode' created archive of a Windows 7-64 OS + apps to a new SSD that's only 5GB smaller than the original. It fails to restore because the target disk is smaller.

The original 256 GB Samsung 850 PRO is 5 GB smaller than the 256 GB Samsung 840 EVO I'm trying to restore to.

The archive is of a GPT partitioned eUFI disk with one 'C' partition w/OS + apps, which uses 80 GB of space, plus the two small GPT and eUFI partitions to the...

I use Acronis and I clone my SATA hard drive in my laptop as instructed.
Remove hard drive from laptop (a must).
A. Attach above HD to laptop with USB
B. Put in new hard drive in laptop to be cloned to
Boot with Acronis USB
Use Acronis Clone Facility to transfer from A (now external USB) to B (new hard drive in laptop).
When complete
Boot as normal

Switch out drives if desired.

I have done this about 15 times and each drive is then bootable and has ALL data and works as if you never...

Any problem doing an incremental backup of a cloned drive?

Specifically, what I mean is ... If I made an image/disk backup of a drive, (and maybe a few incremental backups as well), which I then later clone to an SSD drive, can I then make an incremental backup (or continue making incremental backups) to this same disk backup with the new SSD drive? Or will HDM have a problem with it being a physically different drive?

Thanks,
Tim

I've used Paragon backup utilities since 2009. I'm currently using Paragon Backup 2011 on my Toshiba Tecra 940 laptop - Core i3 - 500 GB HD - 4 GB ram running Windows 7 Home, 64bit. The hard drive has approx 100 GB of misc files that I need to back up. I'm backing everything (not incremental) up to an external hard drive with plenty of free storage.
I've noticed the following....

Assume Recovery Media can be used on any computer?

Hi, I own HDM 12 Pro, but have not used it for some time, so I'm a little foggy on this ...

Recently I backed up a new laptop, and was wondering if I needed to make a bootable recovery CD/DVD (or USB drive) for it, or could I just use the one I used for my main system?

I mean, I'm assuming it is just creating an environment so that you can use Paragon software to restore a system in case of catastrophic failure of some kind (HD failure, corrupted files, virus etc.) and that the recovery...

Hello

first I must say I spent now more than an hour to understand the HDM15 GUI. I used HDM 12 and earlier in the past but was using until recently Norton Ghost as backup software. Paragon HDM was and still is (V12) for the disk editing...

However lets talk about HDM15 now.

Task:
Image Windows C drive to a NAS SMB share.

Questions:
Can I not enter SMB share credentials in the GUI? I found the possibility to enter data like this in scripts. But what the heck?! it is 2016?! DO I have to...

Schedule HDM15 to do an archive validation?

I'm wondering if it is possible to schedule an archive validation that saves results to a log file. Anybody ever had a need for this? Ideally, I would schedule a validation the day after a backup. I had an incident where I needed to recover data from a backup (HDM12). Only then did I find out there were validation problems with the archive. I'd like to know a bit sooner. Thanks.

How to Create a Disk Image

I'm not an IT person, so excuse my ignorance of how to use Paragon Disk Backup & Recovery 15.
I purchased this product to create a disk image so that I wouldn't have to spend 40+ hours reinstalling applications after doing a disk recovery.
Is simple terms how would I create a disk image that includes the Windows 10 OS, installed applications, and data files. In case of a crash I would like to be able to use the disk image to reinstall the above.

Hi,
Today I installed the 64bit version of B&R 2014 Free on my Windows 7 and created a recovery ISO CD as 32bit because my BIOS is non-UEFI. Could I use this CD without any problems to restore my OS if necessary? Or did I something wrong?
Thanks in advance.

I started using this utility to back up a hard drive that had previously become inaccessible. It backed up the 1st 2 partitions fine, but once it began to access the 3rd partition it got an option to skip corruption files. The program has now been running a data writing(buffered) for about 2 days now. The estimated wait till will go up to very high times such as 20 hours. Then later when I look at it again it is down to 3 hours. The progress bar has not moved. Is the program stuck? Or is it...

This morning my SSD drive was blank. I have been using Paragon since early in the year and have it set to do a backup everyday at 10:00 AM. I can always see it running and I minimize it to the taskbar. There is also a .pbf and .pfm files in the same folder.

I restored by C: drive this morning but it restored it to March 9 of this year. I lost everything from then forward. On my backup drive I can see arc_xxxx/USER/20160525.xxxx and this folder contains zipped archives .001 to .009...

Judging from the previous post with a similar problem, trying to get help here takes too long but, having no other hope, here's a try:

I've been creating clone backups religiously for about 4 years. For the first time yesterday I needed to restore. Using the restoration disk I tried to restore. Everything appeared to go perfectly until I tried to boot when I got a blue screen the said something like, 'There's a problem with your disk(computer?). Reinstall Windows or consult your system...

I have a support request in but no one has responded for a couple days and I need to know if Hard Disk Manager 12 Suite will run on Windows 10. And if images made with HDM12 will be compatible with HDM15 if I have to upgrade.I am planning on reverting back to a factory state from an image with HDM12, then upgrading to Windows 10. I may or may not revert back to the factory state image within windows 10, so I need to know if I can run HDM12 in Windows 10. I really can't afford to upgrade, but...
