Paragon Rescue Kit 4.0 Personal Upgrade Download

Have you ever been in a situation when you desperately need some data but you do not have access to them? Your computer may have crashed and does not boot any more from the local hard disk. You have not done backup for months and you feel awful as you are about to lose everything you have recently worked on. Would you like to do postmortem backup and save all important data? Paragon Rescue Kit will surely help you under such circumstances. You can rescue your information when someone else might think it is too late. Actually, it is never late for data recovery and this product may cure even hopeless cases.

Data recovery is a real headache both for home users and IT professionals. The threat to lose access to important information after a computer failure hangs like a sword of Damocles over millions of computer users who are too busy to do regular and systematic backup of everything. Moreover, even daily backup, which is such a tiresome procedure, is not insurance against hardware and software failures during the day. The possibility to have a powerful tool, which would be able to rescue extremely important data without looking back on previous backup operations, may give a new feeling of independence and reliability to anxious computer users. Paragon Rescue Kit is exactly intended to help users in such expectations.

Paragon Rescue Kit is an integrated software package to get access to files wherever they are, whatever unpleasant has happened to the computer hard disk and whenever you need them. No matter what operation system and file system you had used on the failed computer, just boot from Paragon Recovery CD and you will again see the file system with all your invaluable files. Then you can save the whole hard disk partitions or separate files to new, safer locations, or record them to CD/DVDs using the embedded recorder.

Paragon Rescue Kit includes a bundle of Paragon's proprietary drivers for different operating systems (DOS, Linux, Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP) and different file systems (FAT, FAT32, NTFS, Ext2/3FS, EAFS, HTFS). They are accompanied by a set of powerful tools such as: Paragon Drive Backup, Paragon Image Explorer, Paragon Partition Manager Lite, Paragon Volume Explorer, Paragon Easy CD/DVD Recorder and generic file managers. Paragon Recovery CD brings all the main tools together to use them in case of emergency. At the same time, these utilities and drivers may be also used separately depending on your needs.
