Computer system failures are a user's worst nightmare. They are as unpredictable as lightning and when they hit expect the worse because your data won't be treated gingerly. In fact, this unreliability is exactly the reason backup solutions have gained so much ground and have become important even on home computers.

Paragon puts at your disposal a rescue kit that is designed to mend boot problems and even retrieve data in case you can't access your operating system anymore. The solution for the home users is free of charged and you can download it from here. The Professional edition, which addresses tech-proficient home users and businesses alike, is slightly more endowed with features, but also comes for a price. The regular tag reads $99.95, but a time-limited offer cut off half, bringing it to $49.95.

For this money you'll get a Standard Technician License that allows you to use Paragon Rescue Kit 9.0 Professional for one year on a limitless number of workstations and up to 10 servers. Moreover, the company throws in a copy of Paragon Adaptive Restore with no additional cost at all. The latter is a WinPE-based recovery media tailored for recovering startup ability of the system after stillborn system migration or virtualization. August 15th is the expiration date for the offering and there is no coupon or code to be entered upon purchase. Just follow this link to take advantage.

On the feature list of the professional version of Paragon's Rescue Kit there is the ability to correct the majority of system boot problems, data retrieving from the disk and saving it on a different HDD, sharing it on the network or depositing it on CD/DVD media. It can also undelete partitions, let you view and modify settings in any Windows system registry offline, establish a network connection, secure erase information and wipe disk and clear Windows OS password when you need system access.

The Adaptive Restore add-on helps recover startup ability after unsuccessful virtualization and make Windows bootable on different hardware. It can make a virtual clone of the system when migrating to a new hardware platform. Also, with virtualization you can have several operating systems (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X) on the same PC.

Unfortunately there is no trial version for testing these two products and you'll have to buy in order to try. But all the features exposed for the $49.95 price are a good offer and Paragon has always been a reliable software developer.

Update: The promotion has been extended for another five days. Thus you can benefit from the offer until August 20th. All the discount links remain the same.
