Paragon is a company with more than 10 years experience in the world of software development and specialized on software solutions in the field of storage management and data safety. They have managed to create a couple of programs designed for HDD management and they have done a super good job. In November 2006 the company announces the release of Hard Disk Manager 8.0, a universal solution for partitioning, backup, imaging, cloning and recovery, as they say in the press release document.
The price of the utility is $50 and the trial period available for testing purposes is 15 days. The trial period is more than enough to check out the application and its features. Take into consideration that the Demo version will still have some additional restrictions (deleting the partition is limited). The tool will assist you into creating new partitions, merging the existing ones, create an image from a current partition, wipe them and restore them. You can practically play with the volumes on your hard disk any way you want.
The interface is incredible as usual and it looks very modern. The intuitive buttons doubled by the wizards available for every task you begin will make working with the application a snap. Having all these features and equipped with the wizards for the operation recommends it to be used by every person that can understand English.
Backing up partitions is one tool Partition Manager does not include in the list of features.
