• Split partitions. You can separate OS and data or different types of data by splitting one partition to two different partitions of the same type and file system
• Merge partitions. Consolidate the disk space, from two adjacent partitions (NTFS, FAT16/FAT32), into a single, larger partition
• Redistribute Free Space. Increase free space on one partition by utilizing the on-disk unallocated space and the unused space of other partitions
• Automatic partition alignment. Optimize performance of your hard disk during partitioning/copy operations and restoring a backup image to new hard drives (not all operations are supported)
• Convert dynamic to basic MBR disks. Convert a dynamic MBR or GPT disk containing simple volume(s) into a basic MBR disk
• NTFS and FAT defragmentation. 27 defragmentation strategies, MFT defragmentation and shrinking, low free space defragmentation
• Boot Corrector. Fix most system boot problems that result from human or program error, or a boot virus activity

• File-level backup/restore for virtual containers (pVHD, VHD, VHDX, VMDK). You can now use virtual containers (pVHD, VHD, VHDX, VMDK) to do P2V out of backup image scenarios. The use of virtual containers has enabled to significantly improve performance and usability for this type of migration operations.
• Smart Backup Wizard. Back up exactly what you need, with the best backup technique automatically chosen according to the type of data you wish to protect
• Selective Restore. Easily extract files and folders from a backup image through the Restore Wizard without the need to restore an entire image

• Backup and Restore to or from FTP/sFTP. Directly write your backups to an FTP server. Using sFTP, the data transfer to the external server will be protected and encrypted
• Backup to VD Wizard. Back up separate partitions or entire hard disks to a pVHD (Paragon Virtual Hard Drive) format – a special VHD, optimized for storing backups of virtual and physical machines
• Restore from VD Wizard. Restore entire hard disks, separate partitions, or certain files and folders from pVHD (available under Windows, WinPE, and Linux)
• Improved write-operations by using asynchronous backup. Improve the speed of the backup processing by using asynchronous writing operations

• GPT/uEFI compatible Backup Capsule. Build a WinPE-based bootable backup capsule for your 64-bit Windows system resided on GPT to successfully start up PC from it in case of emergency
• P2P Adjust OS Wizard. Successfully migrate a Windows physical system to a different hardware platform (P2P).
• Disaster recovery for Apple Boot Camp. Protect dual-boot Macs from the Windows side or in the Linux or WinPE recovery environments
• Recovery Media Builder. Prepare either Linux or WinPE-based bootable environment on a USB thumb drive or in an ISO file. Unlike Boot Media Builder you don’t need to have Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) or Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) installed in the system
• UIM (Universal Image Mounter). Mount pVHD backup images to browse their contents and retrieve data both, in the program and directly under Windows OS
• Embedded Recovery Media Builder 3.0. Instead of two utilities downloaded from Paragon’s website (BMB and RMB), the new RMB 3.0 is now embedded into the product. Combining the best of the two utilities, it can boast more options, usability, and stability:

– Doesn’t obligatory require Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) or Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) on Windows 7 and later platforms
– Can build WinPE-based media on Windows XP, Vista, if there’s WAIK installed in the system
– Allows injecting additional drivers for storage devices, network controllers, USB controllers, or system during setup
– Enables to set up a network connection with a pre-mounted network share during setup
– Prepares hybrid (both, uEFI and BIOS compatible) 64-bit recovery environment on flash or in an ISO image
