Backing up data is something that every computer user needs to do, but many people simply never get round to -- it is one of those chores that is just too easy to put off. There are a few obstacles that put people off: the time it takes to configure backup software and the amount of money it costs to invest in one are probably the main ones. With today’s special giveaway, you can eliminate both of these issues and safeguard your valuable data by grabbing a free copy of Paragon System Backup 10.5 Special Edition, worth $29.95.
The beauty of working with this particular backup tool, aside from the fact that it can be yours completely free of charge, is that it is so incredibly easy to use. Paragon System Backup 10.5 Special Edition will automatically check your system and determine which of your available hard drives has sufficient free space to be used to store backups -- as such, it is a good idea to ensure that you have any USB drives connected so they can be analyzed. Once this has been done, the program will automatically create a snapshot of your system, getting the protection process underway immediately.
From this point onwards, your backup will be constantly updated so you do not need to worry about manually creating new ones every time you create new files. Having these tasks taken care of for you leaves you free to simply get on and use your computer without having to think about the backup process -- everything is done for you automatically.
If you do want to get a little more hands on, you can opt to change how frequently your backup is updated, choose to exclude certain types of file from the backup. Should you ever need to make use of the backup you have created, you can choose between restoring a snapshot in its entirety, or browsing through the contents and selecting the individual files you are interested in.
