Paragon Software Group (PSG), a leader in data protection, backup and disaster recovery, today released a free 90-day trial of Paragon Hard Disk Manager 15 Preview, a complete data management solution with flexible physical and virtual backup formats for businesses. HDM 15 supports the right backup formats for a variety of tasks including archiving or virtualization. Unlike traditional backup methods, HDM 15 supports a wide range of virtual disk formats, making it ideal for use with virtual machines. The Connect VD (Virtual Drive) feature allows IT administrators to set the partitioning and editing of virtual data media in just the same way they would with regular physical hard disks. VD backup features now provide the full set of backup tools, including file complement, incremental backup and others.

New major features include:

The new backup technology lets users create backups directly in the form of virtual disks in the format they need (VMDK/VHD/VHDX) and, if necessary, later use the P2V Adjust Assistant feature to adapt backups for use with VMware Workstation or other virtualization software. If you create regular incremental backups, for instance, each of these increments can be used as the basis for a virtual machine at any time. No matter what youre using Oracle VirtualBox, Microsoft Hyper-V, Microsoft Virtual PC or VMware Workstation Hard Disk Manager 15 can handle the virtual disk formats these hypervisors use, and will also create backups directly in the formats you need. In addition, youll still have the full range of backup operation functions, including incremental backup, file-based backup, additional file backup, differential backup, and more. If youre focusing more on archiving and want your backup containers to take up as little storage space as possible, then the Paragon Virtual Hard Disk Format (pVHD) is the right choice for you: high compression rates and a network-friendly structure allow exceptionally efficient use of storage and speed up backup operations in the network by up to 10 times.

Availability: A free 90-day evaluation of Paragon Hard Disk Manager 15 Preview is available at http://www.paragon-software.com/landing-pages/hdm15-preview/index.html. The commercial version of Paragon Hard Disk Manager 15 is scheduled for release in fall 2014 and will offer a 30-day evaluation period.
