Auxiliary Facilities

 File Transfer Wizard to make such operations as transferring of files/directories or burning of them to CD/DVD

as easy and convenient as possible. Providing access to Paragon backups as regular folders, it may also help to

replace corrupted data from a previously created image in case of an operating system failure.

 Volume Explorer is a handy tool when you have different file systems on the disk, whether they contain an

operating system or just data. Volume Explorer will let you explore a file system of any type and provide access

to the necessary files and directories regardless of their security attributes.

 Recovery Media Builder to create a bootable recovery media based on Linux/DOS or WinPE 3.0 on a CD, DVD

disc, or flash memory, which can later be used to boot and recover your computer in case of an operating

system failure. Moreover, with its help you can save data from partitions of your hard disk directly to compact

discs or burn ISO-images. The utility supports various formats of laser discs: CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW,

DVD-R, DVD+R double layer, Blu-ray and can handle multi-session burning.

 Network Configuration Wizard to establish a network connection under Linux or WinPE either to save a backup

of a partition/hard disk or just several files on a network computer or retrieve a previously made backup from a

network computer for recovery purposes.

 Boot Corrector to fix most of the system boot problems that can be a result of a human factor, program error or

a boot virus activity.

Boot Corrector is only available for the WinPE 3.0 or Linux/DOS bootable recovery

environment.
