Well there are one more Helpbutton (which takes you to a PDF for the paid version) and a Settings-knob.

On the far left you have a button bar, but in the free version you only have to worry about the first button ( Backup & Recovery), because the other two are in fact reserved for the commercial edition. To be sure, first check your system type. We’ll have to wait a little longer for that (see ‘Recovery medium’). A message appears stating that you have not yet created recovery media. The installation only takes a few mouse clicks, after which you start the app. You start the installation with a double click on the downloaded exe file. When in doubt, go through Windows Settings / System / About find out what type of system your Windows installation is from. You can download it in two variants: 32- and 64-bit. We base ourselves here on the Windows edition. You download the tool at Note that both for Windows if macOS is available. So we are happy to get started with Paragon Backup & Recovery 17 CE. By the way, there is a commercial version of this app, but for automated ones backups and for recovery operations you don’t really need functions as much as: support of the Windows server, (re)partitioning of drives, cloning operations or mail notifications. There are many commercial backup tools out there, but frankly, if you can use a program like Paragon Backup & Recovery (Community Edition) for free at home, we see little reason to cut the slack. Only after Murphy has visited do you still have to get to work with Paragon Backup & Recovery CE. That in turn requires a reliable program that follows the principle of setting everything correctly in one go and letting the software run its course as much as possible. So you prefer to worry about that as little as possible. Backing up is almost as boring as it is necessary.
