Windows 7: Restoring from Paragon's backup?

I backed up a full image onto an external USB HD using Paragon's Backup & Recovery 10 Free Edition. If my W 7 system refuses to boot how do I access the backup so that I can restore the system from the image? Paragon's utility does not seem to provide a mechanism to boot up with.Thanks.

I think Paragon offers creating Bootable Recovery CD/DVD or USB flash drive
So create it.

And when your system fails you can just boot from that CD and recover your PC.

EDIT: It`s called Recovery Media Builder!

Paragon may be like the free edition of Macrium Reflect.

Macrium WILL NOT restore unless you use a boot disc made with the application. The Macrium staff technical writers were clever enough to not mention this in the documentation. You get to discover it on your own when you try to restore. Crafty, don't you think? Only the paid for version will restore from Windows.

Even if you could restore in Windows, you are probably better off assuming Windows will not be working when you have to restore--so use the boot disc even if you don't have to.

Why not get the Compact Edition ? - it's free if you grab it now - more functions than the B&R10 Free:

Only available free till Tuesday 19th Jan 2010 [ I assume that is midnight Tuesday - it will be UK time as it a world exclusive with v3.co.uk. ] 23 hours left to get it

Paragon can flip itself into boot time mode. Better to use the boot disc, as Ig says.
