This would also benefit users who did not have optical media drives. It would great to see this external media booting capability made possible via USB drives, so that users could boot from the same media that contains the backup images themselves.

#Paragon camptune upgrade

In having the ability to boot from external media, the earlier-generation product provided not only the re-partitioning capability but also the ability to use the image backup/restore to completely recover from primary storage drive failure or easily upgrade to a larger disk. I would personally prefer a product with a more advanced feature set that retains and builds upon CampTune 9's capabilities. Even if you decide to create Basic and Advanced versions of the product, since there are many on this forum who like the idea of a product that just does the re-partitioning and nothing else. Do you think that Camptune solution functionality needs to be extended?Ī. (Full Image Backups like before are great, the ability to do Incremental Image Backups in addition would be even better.)Ħ. While I applaud your efforts to bring the partition-resizing functionality inside of OSX rather than forcing the user to reboot from external media, I hope the you will consider doing the same for the ability to Backup and Restore the BootCamp partition. The lack of a Backup capability in this version greatly devalues the product for me, since I've been able to discover NO OTHER SIMPLE & SUPPORTED backup solution for a BootCamp partition that co-exists with Lion. Thirdly, and most importantly for me, the value of CampTune 9 is partly in its partition re-sizing capabilities (infrequently used) and partly in its Backup capability (more frequently used).

Secondly, a re-sizing progress indicator of either 'Time Remaining' or '% Complete' or both would be most useful.

Do you think that Camptune for Mac OS X needs additional features?įirstly, an indication of available free space in each partition type via the GUI would be extremely useful. Yes, however as other users have reported, the program's icon in the Dock's application folder was shown as a program that could not be launched, as if it was an incompatible PowerPC application in an Intel Mac. Were all dialogs and menus in program clear to you?Ī. Yes - The task was successfully completed in a couple of minutes and verified via OSX's Disk Utility.ģ. Was your redistribute operation successful?Ī. My responses to the formal Beta-Tester questions are as follows:ġ. The CampTune X Beta was installed on OSX Lion and used to expand a 150Gb BootCamp partition running Windows 7 (32-bit) to a new size of 160Gb.

I've just tested CampTune X Beta on a 15' MacBook Pro early-2011 model which has been modified to use a Crucial M4 SSD for primary storage.
