Now this is somewhat clever, I have not yet tried it so I can’t say for sure how good it works but the concept is clever. You agree with some of your friends that you will use each other as backup-hubs, install Buddy Backupand then define each other as trusted friends, then your data is backed up to your friends computers via P2P (of cause in encrypted format so your friends can’t look at your data).. It is free and rather clever. Read their getting started guide here Download it here  (sadly it is not available right now, a new version should be very close to release – even so close that they removed the old version – I have written to them requesting a release date but not received any yet).

I actually did not know Paragon had a free edition of their partition manager software, but it turns out they do.

Now I am sure it is crippled just enough to be useless but I may be wrong, so you may want to give it a spin (heck it’s free so it won’t cost you a dime) 🙂

Update;
I just tried it out, and beside the annoying thing that you had to register during installation (which is send to you via very slow email) then it is actually surprisingly full featured, you can resize, delete and whatnot – now this may just be enough for most.  Try it before you spend money on something else or try out the equally free Gpart https://readmydamnblog.com/?p=910 which may offer a few additional features.

If you have an original game cd/dvd and want to know which copyprotection was used on it – maybe to find a NOCD or whatnot  – I sometimes even find this interesting from an intellectual point of view, then this utility might just assist you in identifying what copyprotection that is keeping you from playing “Battlefield Bad Company 2” without the DVD inserted.  It won’t break/crack anything, just identify which copyprotection was used.  Freeware and all that jazz.
