Information that is stored on our disks can be much more valuable than the computer being used together with its software. Then again, to what extent is something regarded as valuable? How much money would you ask for your favorite music collection, which you have been collecting your entire life? Or your disk may contain important financial data or results of scientific research. There are many things that are unique and therefore one has to be certain about security
If you already know about the Paragon Hard Disk Manager 8.0 Special Edition promotion that was offered by VNUnet earlier this year, it is time to upgrade to 8.5 because the 8.5 is fully compatible with Windows Vista and has many new features for your most usual tasks and scenarios. With Paragon Hard Disk Manager, you can easily create, format, delete, undelete, merge, backup, restore and copy your partition or hard disk.
Paragon Hard Disk Manager 8.5 Special Edition provides the user with the most reliable data protection for the hard disk – the ability to create archive duplications (i.e. backup images). By storing such an archive onto external media the user is able to restore the data at any time it is required. The program assists planning a schedule in case the user’s disk needs a backup on a regular basis. The operation will be performed automatically at the specified time.

The second crucial function of the program is the ability to modify the hard disk structure. One day you realize that your hard drive cannot meet your requirements any more. Either its capacity is insufficient and it is time to think about a little upgrade, or you are to carry out some partitioning operations. Whatever the problem is, it requires solution. Paragon Hard Disk Manager 8.5 provides a wide-range functionality in the field of managing disk layout structures. The key features of the program are listed in the special chapter.
Setting up any operation is accomplished by using practical wizards. Each step of the wizard includes in-depth information in order to allow the user to make the right choice. Graphical representations of the data help the user to gain a better understanding.

You now have a fully licensed Paragon Hard Disk Manager 8.5 Special Edition! For your information, the free Paragon Hard Disk Manager 8.5 Special Edition offered by VNUnet is quite an old version. The version 8.5 was released on 20 April 2007 but it is definitely better than the version 8 because 8.5 fully supports Vista.
The latest version of Paragon Hard Disk Manager 2008 was released last year on 11 October 2007. Then on 22 February 2008, Paragon announced that it has 3 editions available for Hard Disk Manager 2008 that is Suite, Professional Edition and Server Edition. In the warez scene, there are already Paragon.Hard.Disk.Manager.2008.Pro-FOSI and also Paragon Hard Disk Manager v2008 Suite-CYGNUS. No sign of the server edition yet. It’d really be nice to have the latest version with all the new features and improvements but the free FREE Paragon Hard Disk Manager 8.5 Special Edition works as well…
