It can be challenging to find a free hard disk backup utility that actually works well and doesn’t plague your computer with irritating nagware. Fortunately, the Paragon Software Group has released a consumer version of their popular Backup & Recovery software previously only available to IT technicians and professionals.

Backup & Recovery has an easy to use interface for even the more inexperienced of users.

Backup & Recovery 10 Free Edition is a hard drive management application that will create and restore bits and pieces of your hard drives and partitions, ensuring that all of your data comes out as squarely as it went into the vault. You can schedule when to back up your files and create differential jobs, which allows you to back up only files that have changed since the last back up (this is perfect for libraries like Documents and Music). Additionally, if you really want the security of being able to restore your files in case of a system crash, you can use the Recovery Media Builder to boot your computer in case your operating system is out of function. 

Use differential jobs to selectively decide what you want backed up. 

Before you download the application, you will need to register with a valid email address. It takes about fifteen minutes for Paragon to send you an active serial number. Once you’ve received your information, plug it in and begin using your new back up toolkit. It’s free for non-commercial use and there are versions available for both 32 and 64-bit Windows operating system.
