Get Paragon Drive Backup 9 Professional FREE (Expired)
Sorry this offer has now expired
Paragon Software is giving away free copies of the full commercial version of their drive backup program for a limited time on the v3.uk.co (formerly vnunet) site.
Here is the link to the product description page: http://www.v3.co.uk/vnunet/downloads/2158058/paragon-drive-backup that also contains the download link and full instructions.
Here's an excerpt from that description:
"Protecting your system is relatively easy. You can schedule a backup so that it backs up your important files at either the end of every working day or week. This can be an automated process so it all happens overnight and your system goes to sleep, once the backup is complete.
"Paragon's Drive Backup is a backup tool that will backup an image of either your entire hard drive or a partition.
"Better still, with the new Hot Backup function, you'll be able to backup your data whilst you're still working on your computer, with minimum impact."
I've personally used several Paragon products over the past 5 years - both free and commercial versions, and found them to be of high quality and non-disruptive to my computers' systems. They simply do what they're supposed to do and do it well.

I found out this product IS NOT free, only the download is. After I downloaded, I have been trying since Friday to get the serial number at the registration site during the install. I keep getting wrror that document does not exist. I called Paragon and was told that for this version, you must pay - but the download is free. They have a stripped down version which does nothing which is free.
Just tried the Paragon sw - the recovery disk does not work - to me this seems like its crappy beta software that should not be given/sold to unsuspecting users. They should probably be shot for giving this away free.
I'm going back to Acronis True Image, its by far the best by a huge leap and bound, and most reliable and the recovery boot disk detects just about everything under the sun.
Arm and Hand
Oh yes it does work. In fact very well. Just don't use the flash drive for older motherboards, Paragon will formats it into NTFS and they can't boot from that. If a cd doesn't work, then either your Paragon is corrupted, or the cd isn't clean and blank (not to mention hardware problems).
Also Paragon is far from a "crappy beta software". Just because you haven't noticed it before doesn't mean you can post a prejudicial, deceitful, and detrimental comment giving other users the wrong idea.
My CD's are perfect and my hardware burns disks perfectly.
The point is that if Paragon does not recognise all hardware & drives,
then I cannot use it. So yes, there are hardware problems, because Paragon does not recognise my hardware - if the bootdisk only boots on some hardware then it is crappy as far as I am concerned.
This is based on hard fact and is NOT deceitful. If you took the time to read some of the other comments below, there are others with the same problem.
PS How long have you been the Paragon Sales Representative?
During the install, when I click on "Get Free Serial" the install ends with the message "The wizard was interrupted before Paragon Drive Backup 9 Professional could be completed. Click finish to exit the wizard." I therefore am unable to get the serial number to continue. Any suggestion?
Can anyone help with this?
When I try to do a backup Paragon does not recognise any of my dvd writing devices. I have looked at the help on Paragon's site, there is a technical answer which is o.k. if you are able to understand it.
When the Paragon tech. team know there is a problem, why do they not fix it.
Any help would be appreciated.

THIS PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE FREE ALL THE TIME. IT IS NOTHING MORE THAN A BACK UP TO DISC PROGRAM WHICH ALL COMPUTERS HAVE ALREADY. OF COURSE YOU CAN "BUY "THEIR REALLY GOOD PROGAM
No it is not free all the time, usually it costs around £10. Additionally, none of the lesser versions of recent Windows, e.g. XpHome and VistaHome, have even a backup program let alone a program that allows you to image the system partition/disk while you are working on it or restore it using a bootable recovery CD/DVD, which is what this does, among other things.
D'load link was in 37, not 35. Seems to be working so far.
The original link was for a demo/trial version. Use the link in post 16 or 35.
Okay, Thanx! I'll give it a try. Thanx for the quick response!
D'load took about 15 minutes, installed, copied & pasted product key and s/n and...Registration info is WRONG! Won't let me have it. Is there really that much difference between this and personal? Would the Personal be enough for my needs? I'm wanting to use something better than what I have, Mozy Free. Everytime I do a reinstall using Mozy, I lose most everything, especially programs I get from you and Giveaway of the day.

Downloaded the program but received no indication as how to register. Please provide assistance
Thanks

You should be prompted for a serial number during the first few screens of installation. In that screen, there is a link to click that will open a web page to enter your name and email. Then an email will be sent to you with your serial key. Hope all goes well.

Did not get these prompts either. And I cannot find a link that looks for my name and email. Help please...
Please describe what happens when try to install, and I will try to help. It should be the first few screens of install. Thanks
I clicked the link to download the product. It installs perfectly and when the installation is complete, it says a reboot is required to complete installation. After the reboot the product is installed. When I open it, it say I have a 30 day trial and looks for the serial number etc. I was never prompted to enter my name and email during installation.
And I uninstalled / reinstalled twice just to see if I missed something.
I just tried the link from post #16. I was prompted for my name and email and I have received the proper info for registration.
Downloaded and installed perfectly. Registration was a breeze, received reg key almost instantly. Imaged 250 gig hard disk in about 22 minutes. Great find!
Thanks a bunch!

Followed link from post 3 and download immediately. registration was no hassles recieved it in about 2 minutes after starting installation.
I have Acronis and it allows me to make a disk that will boot from Dos in XP. This disk will allow me to make an image file of my C: partition from dos.
Will DB9 Prof do the same? or will I only be able to image the C: partition in Windows XP itself?
Thank You
Hal

Downloaded alternate link here in South Africa in about 4 min.
Haven't installed, so don't know if file is good yet.
Thank you Gizmo. After using your suggested links and failing, I used http://dl.paragon-software.com/free/DB9_Prof_free_en.msi and had my download in a jiffy. Registration particulars followed by email from Paragon within three minutes and the program was installed and registered in no time. Thank you - very glad to have this gift. Thanked Paragon also by web. Excellent find Gizmo! Best wishes. Bob Bowen
