Where Does Paragon Backup Store Archives?
Paragon Hard Disk Manager script folder and default archive destinations on Windows for backup jobs.
Last updated
Paragon stores backup destinations per job. Archives land wherever the job points, often a dedicated partition. The job list shows every destination with last run status. Jobs cover disks, partitions, and single files.
Job scripts live in %PROGRAMDATA%\Paragon with schedules and retention rules. Those scripts reference the archive paths. Back up .pbf archives with the scripts folder. Destinations vary by job, so check properties before copying. Keep base archives with their incrementals. Test restores catch gaps early.
