Frequently Asked Questions - Paragon Drive Backup Server Edition
- Q: I try to backup my Disk / Partition to a CD/DVD media or to the DVD Burner, connected via FireWire interface. When system reboots in Bluescreen to process a backup, an error message "No writable disk in CD drive" appears and no backup is performed. My burning device is displayed in Windows program part as available for backup.
A: Please, make sure there is a drive letter assigned to this CD/DVD Burner Device. Sometimes Windows XP "dismounts" such a device for unknown reason. The device still is present in the system. Please, select "My Computer", click the right mouse key, select Disk Manager, select your CD/DVD burner device and assign drive letter for it. Then
repeat backup process.
- Q. Can I backup separate files?
A. The program is designed for creating complete backup of your hard disk or separate partition(s). However, you will be able to restore separate files and folders from backup archive using Image Explorer utility.
The main advantage of this method is ability to restore workable copy of your system with already installed applications and important information during several minutes if you can't boot your system any more. It is not possible to do with the utilities designed for backing up separate files.
