Allows sector-level backup, incremental imaging, selective restore

Paragon Boot Camp Backup is the industry’s first and free OS X based backup solution for Windows partitions on Mac computers. The backup tools that are delivered with Apple’s operating system do not support the Windows native file system NTFS and work on the file level only which has a negative effect on computer performance. Other third-party tools either do not run in the familiar and convenient OS X environment or they are designed for disk cloning rather than ongoing backup. Paragon Boot Camp Backup comes to rescue by backing up NTFS Boot Camp partitions at the sector level. It creates incremental chains, where each new increment describes the changes between the current state of the backup object and the previous state. This saves disk space, speeds backups, and allows recovery to a particular point in time.

Paragon Boot Camp Backup is available for free at http://www.paragon-software.com/home/bootcamp-backup/ Additional free and commercial tools for Mac users can be found at the Mac ToolBox portal, http://www.paragon-software.com/mac/

The new Paragon Mac ToolBox web portal makes it easy to find which of the company’s products can be used to solve particular Mac-related problems. Some of the tools are available free of charge, while all commercial products are available on a time-limited demo basis.

Everything you should know about  disk sanitization techniques for HDDs and SSDs!

According to the US Department of Commerce data security breaches cost over $250 billion to US companies per year. This means providing confidentiality implies not only information to be stored properly, but also be destroyed according to certain rules. The article Why_Wipe_SSD is going to illustrate the main peculiarities of irreversible data destruction operation in order to allow a secure storage disposal.

The approach to perform this kind of operation will differ from the type of storage device: HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or SSD (Solid State Drive).  The internal architecture of an SSD is very different from that of a hard disk, and the way SSDs store data is very different as well. This means that existing disk sanitization techniques originally used for HDDs won’t work on SSDs.

After some research on the issue, our company has improved our disk wiping technology and can now guarantee irreversible secure data destruction on SSD storage devices without shortening the SSD’s service life.

Read the full article Why_Wipe_SSD to clear up the difference between data destruction on SSDs and HDDs and meet the recently updated wiping tool from Paragon Software.
