I have macrium in my pc and on an nexternal drive. When I installed Paragon B+R and created but image it wiped the external drive of everything.
I have another external drive and when I add photos, music and images there is no issue.
Why did Paragon wipe the drive? Is it b/c it formats the drive before imaging?
