Paragon Software Group releases new version of New Hard Disk Manager

November 2006 – San Jose
Paragon Software Group, the leading provider of innovative, reliable technologies and software solutions in the field of storage management and data safety, announces the latest release of its award-winning Hard Disk Manager - a universal solution for partitioning, backup, imaging, cloning and recovery. Hard Disk Manager 8 provides all of this functionality in an easy-to-use and completely integrated format. This is a complete solution for all computer users (novice and gurus included).

Paragon Hard Disk Manager brings together the most useful disk management solutions in a single suite:

• Basic and Advanced Partitioning: Resize, move, hide, merge, restore and convert partitions without data loss.
• Complete Backup and Restore: continuous disk-based data and system backup and fast restore even from a bare-metal state.
• Powerful Recovery: Recovery Media is a bootable CD offering full access to all partitions on local hard drives. In the event of an unbootable system, the Recovery CD allows you to access and off-load important documents, correct corrupted operating system files or perform any other operation on the hard drive.
• Secure Disk Wiping: completely erase a whole hard disk, a separate partition or just clean free space. It guarantees secure and easy destruction of your critical data, so that it cannot be recovered, even with present-day technologies. (available in corporate editions only)

Hard Disk Manager 8.0 has an XP style interface and wizards for the majority of operations.

Hard Disk Manager 8 is available in Personal, Professional and Server Editions. We also offer Small Business Bundle that meets the exact needs of small business customers. You can find more information about each edition here http://paragon-software.com/hdm/comparison.htm
