Updating Paragon Backup & Recovery™ 2011 (Advanced) Free

I see there is now Backup & Recovery 2013 Free available, and am thinking of replacing the older version. Am I gaining/losing anything in terms of speed/functionality by doing so? Also will my backups still be compatible with the 2013 version?

Thanks

 

Yes, it is backward compatible with images you made before.

It has a new engine so it is quicker.

 

Thats basically what i need to know...thanks for the reply!
I wasnt sure if i posted in the right place.

 

One other thing... im guessing i need to do a clean install?
Thnx2

 

That's a good question. Can I install Backup & Recovery 2013 Free and still keep 2011 or 2012 installed as well?

Thanks!

Not the same product as you'll get an error at install.
