Paragon Software Group (PSG) was founded in 1994 to develop and provide players in the IT market with high-quality system utilities. In the years since Paragon Software Group achieved considerable and sustained growth worldwide and as enjoyed success in a wide range of market – software solutions based on Windows, Linux, Symbian and Palm operating systems.

Paragon Software Group presents:
Quickly and easily bring your operating system into original state!
Paragon System Recovery (PSR)
When a system crash or hard disk failure occurs, simply boot System Recovery Engine (from Recovery CD or from preinstalled hidden Backup Capsule) and the computer will be restored to its original state as easy as possible.
There is no need for long reinstallations, configuration of software or other measures.
This solution is fully automated and specifically intended for VARs and OEMs who produce computers and preinstall operating systems, and who need to supply recovery tools to end-users with the possibility to recovery Windows operating system or entire hard disks.
Paragon System Recovery makes it possible for every PC-User regardless of his experience to restore the operating system with single mouse click

Main Features:Main Features: An image can be stored on Backup Capsule (a separate hidden partition on the hard
disk) or a single/several CD/DVDs;
Special technical knowledge is not required: simply press the <Alt> button at PC
boot or insert the CD and press the “restore” button. The operating system will be
bootable again in a few minutes;
Extensive possibilities of manual settings for OEMs;
The end-user recovery process can be customized by OEMs (use own pictures and
logotypes to change the product according to their standards and wishes);
The bootable part of the recovery CD can be adjusted individually – choose the DOS
or Linux environment for the recovery process, additional drivers according to your
particular needs (e.g. RAID controller).

• HDD-Based Solution with PSR-on-Board – The backup image (partition or disk) is located in
Backup Capsule on the local hard disk. It is possible to restore the system without Recovery
CD/DVD by pressing Alt button at PC boot;
• HDD-Based Solution without PSR-on-Board - The backup image (partition or disk) is located
in Backup Capsule on the local hard disk. It is necessary to have Recovery CD/DVD (which is
supplied with PSR) to restore the image;
• CD-Based Solution – The image (partition or disk) is located on the CD/DVD and restore is
possible by booting from this CD/DVD.
Computers with Paragon System Recovery (PSR) are supplied to end-users and allow them to restore
the system to the initial state without or with additional tools (CD/DVD) in case of severe system damage.
The solution offers different scenarios for backup/restoring the system partition or entire disk. These solutions
differ form each other in methods of storing backup archives (on CD/DVD or local HDD) and in methods of restoring
them (from HDD or CD/DVD):
OverviewOverview
PSR offers thorough support of Batch Mode (command line execution). Thus, it is always possible to
automatically perform any operation in Batch Mode.

This solution can be easily executed in the command line (command prompt). There are three files to be executed:
PSRSysprep.msi – for example: msiexec /i "C:\PSR\PSRSysprep.msi" /q SOURCE="Partition" DESTINATION="BCwithPSRonBoard"
run_bs.bat – for example: call run_bs.bat
Sysprep utility – for example: C:/Sysprep1/sysprep.exe –reseal -quite –reboot
After booting the WinPE PSR CD, two modes
are offered: Manual and Batch. After selecting
the Batch mode it is possible to perform any
operation by typing respective command in the
command line.

Restore OperationRestore OperationIn case of system crash or any severe damage, a user can always restore the system by restoring the
system backup (partition or disk) from Backup Capsule or Recovery CD/DVD.
After using Paragon System Recovery to create the backup archive, there are several ways to restore
the system, which are depended on the backup method chosen during the backup operation:

Summary and ConclusionSummary and ConclusionSince the process of system recovery takes place on the end user side, it should be as
simple as possible. If the system needs to be restored, the end user wants to know a direct way of
actions. PSR solution provides such directness.
In case of using Recovery Discs, the end user should just insert the disc into the bootable
drive, boot from it and press the "Restore" button when asked. The system will be restored to the
state when the Recovery Disk was created.
As to Backup Capsule, when the computer is booting, it is necessary to click on the Alt
button and confirm the restore operation when asked. It follows that there is no need to store and
look after Recovery Discs. The system will be restored to the state when the backup archive on
Backup Capsule was created.
This solution allows OEMs to reduce time of their manufacturing process and increase
end-user system reliability. Moreover, OEMs can always add their own pictures and logotypes to
change the product according to their standards and wishes.
