This version 9.5 is a full clone of commercial Drive Backup 10 Professional, but just without WinPE CD:
http://www.paragon-software.com/home/db-professional/

WinPE is paid software by Microsoft and can't be distributed for free with freeware products.

Here you can find a comparison table which describes the difference between DB 9 Professional and DB 10 Professional:

Just remember that today's 9.5 version is a clone of version 10 minus WinPE.

In general, what's new:
* backup to FTP
* updated P2P Adjust wizard (for restoring to different computer)
* improved Windows 7 support
* new Smart Backup wizard with a set of backup strategies to select

Hello everybody.

Today's build includes both installers for x32 and x64 OS users. That is why the size is 300 MB.


Best regards,

@ #3: Windows 7 Home Premium Backup will backup a partition; yet it won't restore the partition without wiping the rest of the disk.
That's Microsoft's downfall, and makes Windows 7 Home Premium's backup program worthless. Makes me wonder why it was even included, and what moron set it up to destroy partitions that weren't backed up?

Myself, am looking for a backup solution that is not so invasive; similar to older Acronis True Image versions, or PowerQuest's Drive Image.

Installed Drive Backup 9.0 Professional Edition (English Version) when it was the GOTD on 2009 JULY 27, and there was no mention of WinPE at that time.

What a difference a 0.5 update makes: version 9.0 was 84.3 MB and version 9.5 is 300 MB, and yet no WinPE.

Thought some folks would like to know.
