    Paragon back up lost


    I backed up my laptop with the free edition of paragon, im having major issues with laptop and thought i couldn't just reload the back up. Cant find it anywhere , any idea where this would be and what kind of file it would be , dont want to have to reload windows but looks like I will have to. Im on my third sfc scannow so will see what result are and get back to post
    thanks

    Hi Linda,
    Normally a backup file is very large and put on an external drive. How can you forget where you put your important backup?

    Hi Linda ... How are you doing ? It might be faster going for the Clean Install .. Should be second nature to you by now ... Maybe you saved it to your Internal Drive but god knows where ...

    The paragon backup will be in a folder named like arc_230612055043198 where the first six digits is the backup date ( here 23 Jun 12) - culled from my Paragon Backup
