One feature that is missing from HDM 12 is the ability to mount an image as a virtual hard drive that you can peruse in Windows Explorer. In fact, I wrote the majority of this review with the program humming away in the background, and I forgot that it was running. In this case, though, I found HDM 12 to be not only fast but also noninterfering. Normally I dismiss claims like this as overblown before I’ve even tested them, and usually I’m correct in my assumptions. A features list comparison between the professional edition and the less expensive suite version is available at the company’s website.įor version 12, Paragon is touting a new imaging engine with better performance. The program also handles dynamic disks, merges images, manages multiple backups in archives, and performs a host of other tasks I don’t have the room to discuss here. Included in HDM 12 Pro are all the features offered in the company’s Virtualization Manager: You can convert a partition to a virtual machine and back, convert a Windows 7 backup image to a VM, and restore from a VM to diverse hardware. You can also back up and restore individual files and folders. You can do the same things with entire disks, as well as convert them from MBR to GPT. The short list of partition functions includes creating, moving, formatting, deleting, backing up, burning to CD, converting the file system, and wiping. The Paragon Hard Disk Manager 12 Professional interface is relatively straightforward, but the dialogs could stand some improvement.HDM hasn’t changed a whole lot since the last version it was already so comprehensive, however, that Paragon simply didn’t have that much to add.

It has full backup, imaging, and partitioning capabilities, and it also supports virtualization software such as VirtualBox and VMware by allowing you to create virtual machines for those programs.
