One day FREE Paragon Drive Backup 9.0 Pro

Not sure if this qualifies as a competing website to redflagdeals (I don't think it does as it deals only with free software on a daily basis):

Good find OP and Paragon makes quality software.

The only limitation is that it states that it does not support the 64 bit version of Windows. I find this a bit odd since Paragon states that this software does support 64 bit on their website, so I guess they chose to only give away the 32 bit version.

Thanks. I guess they're banking on retaining some customers as the OS's move onto 64bits over the next few years. I think it's a good strategy for them to give at least the 32bit away for free. All I have are XP and Vista 32 bit anyway, so all's good.

Don't know much about this software.

Can I use it to transfer the whole hard drive to another new drive?

Thanks OP.

Thanks OP.

I was actually searching for a good HDD cloning software recently. I found this while looking at Acronis True Image (which had a sale recently). Paragon does disc cloning (transfer old HDD to new). It's well regarded from all the reviews I've seen. So is Acornis True Image (both better than Ghost).

Since it is freebie, can I use the same serial no. to install onto multiple machines? If not, I need to request multiple serial numbers?

HDD no longer boot after trying a hdd raw copy and the copied hdd gets a blue screen of death when loading.

Unfortunately, Paragon does not have an "ignore all" option when encountering bad sectors. This makes backing up from a defective drive somewhat impossible (unless you are patient enough to sit at a computer hitting "ignore" every few seconds for hours on end).

When contacted, their solution was to "fix the drive" before backing up. Anyone with technical background knows that trying to fix a defective drive can result in loss of data. That was a deal breaker with me.

Good deal for general 32 bit use though. Thanks op for posting.
