Paragon Backup & Recovery 10?

[thetxstang]

Has anyone used Paragon Backup & Recovery 10? I need a good drive imaging solution for personal use and can't decide between it and Acronis True Image Home 2011.

I know Acronis has many fans here, but I'd appreciate opinions from those familiar with the paid Paragon offering.

Thank you in advance.

I'd also consider trying Macrium reflect. there is a free edition if you want to test it out.

I was using Paragon and switched to Acronis. On older hardware, zero problems with Paragon. Adding network drivers annoyed me, but Paragon was "free" from one of their offers.

I do likeAcronis better, much better, but paid for it.

Try them out. They do have trial versions out.

I have used Acronis for quite some time and really like it but I am not impressed at all with the new version:2011, would be interested to hear what others think of the new version.

I use Paragon Drive Backup 10 Enterprise edition for my servers and workstation imaging. I agree with the above comment about having to load network drivers.. it can be a pain. Paragon will pick up most servers and workstations, however, w/o having to manually install the drivers. I have about 40 Dell PowerEdge servers, ranging from older 2450's to the newer R900's and all of the workstations use Intel motherboards.

I don't have experience with Acronis but Paragon has worked flawlessly so far.
