New Paragon's Camptune X for Mac® is The Easiest and Fastest Way to Redistribute Free Space.

Now, for the first time ever, there is no need to reboot your Mac to perform repartitioning.  Camptune X works directly in your Mac to share free space on either operating system quickly and easily with no data loss

FREIBURG, Germany, February 16th 2012, – Paragon Software Group (PSG), a leader in data backup, disaster recovery, and data migration solutions today announced Camptune™X for Mac® OS X. Paragon’s Camptune solves the maintenance problem that Mac Boot Camp™ users encounter when they run out of free partition space.  With Camptune, Mac users can redistribute available space between Macintosh and Windows partitions rapidly without data loss, adding free megabytes to partitions on either operating system quickly and easily.

Many dual-boot users face the problem of resizing partitions as the amount of data - either on Mac OS X volume and windows volume - increases over time.    Paragon Camptune X  for Mac OS X is a next-generation utility that changes volume sizes in dual-boot Mac OS X/Windows systems by adding more space to one volume at the expense of another.  Simple to use, Camptune X is a native utility that adjusts volume size in a few simple clicks without the need to boot to a special environment.

Traditionally, to solve the problem of free space relocation Mac users would need to back up the Boot Camp partition, delete the partition, recreate the NTFS partition with new size and finally, restore the Windows partition backup into this new NTFS partition. The whole process would take 2 to 5 hours. Now with Camptune X the same results can be achieved in a matter of minutes.

Paragon Camptune X has very easy and intuitive interface. There are just 3 simple steps to perform the resize:

1.    Run Camptune X

2   Set the desired volume size by moving the partitions boundary

3.  Perform the operation.

Camptune X Benefits:

·         No need to perform many manual operations.

·         No need to reboot Mac, thus you can continue your usual work while the resize operation is performed.

·         No need to have third-party software or installation media.

·         With Camptune X the whole resize operation is twice as faster.

Availability:

Paragon Camptune X is available for £13.27

Paragon Software Reinforces its Support for Mac Users with the Release of 3 Products – Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X 9.5, CampTune X and Virtualization Manager for Mac

Change volume sizes in dual-boot Mac OS X/Windows systems, migrate an entire Mac OS X environment to a virtual machine, or access NTFS volumes without restrictions -- even on the latest Thunderbolt devices!

FREIBURG, Germany, October, 2011 – Paragon Software Group (PSG), a leader in data backup, disaster recovery, and data migration solutions, today announced the release of three solutions for Mac users working in a dual OS environment or planning to upgrade to OS X Lion – NTFS for Mac^® OS X 9.5, Virtualization Manager for Mac and a beta version of CampTune X.

NTFS for Mac OS X 9.5

NTFS for Mac OS X 9.5 is a standalone application for dual-boot users designed to eliminate barriers between Windows and Mac operating systems, and ease data manipulation and data transfer.  Simple to install, Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X 9.5 adds NTFS file allocation system support to Mac OS X, including OS X Lion, allowing the operating system to access any NTFS-formatted drive. The program provides the safest and fastest way to treat data on NTFS volumes in Mac OS X, and allows partitioning operations with NTFS volumes under Mac OS X.

Key Features include:

§  Updated support of the latest OS X Lion, including 32/64-bit native mode.

§  Support for the latest Thunderbolt devices.

§  Support for extended attributes.

§  Fast volume transfer speed.

§  Full read/write access:  Modify existing files, delete files and create or copy new files.

§  No limitation to maximum file/partition size (must be within Mac OS X and NTFS specifications).

CampTune X (Beta)

Many dual-boot users face the problem of resizing partitions as the amount of data – either on HFS or NTFS volumes – increases over time. CampTune X is a next-generation utility that changes volume sizes in dual-boot Mac OS X/Windows systems by adding more space to one volume at the expense of another.  Simple to use, CampTune X is a native utility that adjusts volume size in a few simple clicks without the need to boot to a special environment.

Key Features include:

§  32/64-bit native mode for OS X Lion.

§  Correctly treats OS X Lion special volume.

§  Simple and convenient user interface.

§  Works directly in OS X. No need to boot a computer into a special environment.

Virtualization Manager for Mac

Upgrading to a new operating system – with potential incompatibilities between the old software and the new environment – can sometimes lead to unpredictable results.  For Mac OS X Leopard/Snow Leopard users who wish to upgrade to OS X Lion, creating a virtual clone of a physical machine in order to save an old workplace after upgrading can add some stability to the migration process. Virtualization Manager for Mac is a solution for smooth migration of an Mac OS X environment to a virtual machine, and allows users to create and run a virtual clone of a physical machine that can be used anywhere.  Virtualization Manager for Mac is a standalone application that runs the virtual clone of your OS X-driven environment on another machine without loading into a special environment, or saves it for use as a backup.

Paragon’s convenient, unique utilities bridge a gap between Mac and PC, making it possible to easily treat data on diverse file systems, arrange volumes and prepare combine virtual environments.  Paragon Software was the first software developer to implement a full set of drivers with complete read/write access to partitions of any file system – including Paragon NTFS for Linux, HFS+ for Linux, NTFS for Mac, ExtFS for Mac, HFS+ Browser for Windows, and ExtFS Browser for Windows.  Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X and HFS+ for Windows are based on Paragon’s own unique Universal File System Driver (UFSD) technology – specifically developed to provide full access (read/write, format, etc.) to volumes of the most popular file systems (NTFS, HFS+, FAT, Ext2/2FS, etc.) under various platforms (Mac, Windows, Linux and DOS).

Availability:

Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X 9.5 is available for USD 19.95, EUR 14.95 or GBP 12.95, and can be downloaded at http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/.

Paragon Backup & Recovery 11 Home – the Essential PC Data Safety and Recovery Tool – Now Offers WinPE 3.0 in Addition to THREE Other Recovery Environments, Making it the Most Advanced System Recovery Software Available on the Market

 Easily and safely recover data from any source or environment with new flexible features. Includes new Adaptive Restore 3.0 and P2P adjustment at no additional charge!

FREIBURG, Germany, September 14, 2011 – Backup and recovery software developer Paragon Software Group today unveiled the new edition of Paragon Backup & Recovery 11 Home, the essential computer system backup and the strongest recovery software available on the market. In case of any data loss, this 11th edition allows PC users to recover their systems from four different emergency environments, such as WinPE 3.0, Linux, DOS or native Windows.

Paragon Backup & Recovery 11 Home is the most cost-effective solution available to home users. It includes the Paragon Adaptive Restore 3.0 feature to safely restore operating systems even on dissimilar hardware, a system migration tool for home Windows environments and P2P Adjustment as standard features. With Paragon Adaptive Restore 3.0, partitions or hard drives can easily be restored and checked if the system boots after migration. If not, the P2P Adjust OS Wizard can be used to adapt an operating system that has been transferred using other software or recovery methods.

The 11th edition of Paragon’s Backup & Recovery Home is the most reliable way to safeguard data with complete disk backup and restore functionality. With user-friendly handling of recovery procedures, Paragon Backup & Recovery 11 Home is not only effective at backing up data, but – more importantly – offers a convenient, comfortable way to restore the system from backup files, even on 2.2 Tb or larger hard drives or on Solid State Drives (SSDs), including the latest Advanced Format Drives (AFDs).

Key new features of Paragon Backup & Recovery 11 Home include:

●     Latest WinPE 3.0 on boot disk – Future-proof backup and recovery software! Containing the Windows 7 Kernel and allowing users to add new drivers, the software guarantees the most reliable recovery process on the market now and in the future.

●     Paragon Adaptive Restore 3.0 – Restore a system backup on completely different hardware, or migrate the operating system to a new computer and avoid time-consuming reinstallations of applications and reconfigurations of your operating system. Paragon Adaptive Restore analyzes which boot drivers are missing on the new hardware and helps install them to the migrated operating system.

P2P Adjust OS Wizard – Start up a Windows physical system on a different hardware platform (P2P) by allowing injection of all required drivers and the other actions crucial for this type of migration. Including the third generation of Paragon’s Adaptive Restore™ technology, it now can:

○     Analyze all installed drivers inside a target system to report on devices without drivers.

○     Search for and install any missing drivers from the built-in Windows repository.

○     Notify the user about boot critical devices without drivers (HDD/RAID controllers, etc.), automatically prompting to provide a path to a driver repository.

○     Name all devices according to their model description, not some alphanumeric code, which requires additional deciphering.

○     Determine and install drivers not only for boot critical devices, but for physically connected NICs as well.

●     Network support for WinPE 3.0 – Easily access backups directly from the Paragon recovery environment, or add network card drivers, if necessary.

●     Support for hard drives bigger than 2.2 TB – Support for the latest generation of hard drives, including SSDs and AFDs, providing support for new GPT partition tables.

●     MBR -> GPT conversion – Easily convert MBR-formatted hard drives to GPT without data loss.

●     Superior write-operations by using asynchronous backup – Increased backup processing speeds, especially for backups on USB 3.0 external hard drives and on internal hard drives.

●     Partition alignment for bare metal restore – When transferring partitions to a new hard drive, Paragon Backup & Recovery 11 Home enables the correct alignment and allows the device to deliver best performance, especially for misalignment issues of restored partitions arising from transfers from old 512-byte sector sizes to newer 4-kilobyte sized sectors.

●     Encrypted Backup – Avoid unauthorized access to backup files with secure encryption.
