This is the software publisher's description.

Paragon Virtualization Manager is a powerful tool to help you easily migrate a Windows-based computer to a virtual environment (P2V) from a major virtualization software vendor, regardless of how or where the computer is being backed up. It also makes a crippled system, previously transferred to virtual hardware by a third party tool, 100% bootable.

Continue using your old PC’s applications. Enjoy your favourite applications in a virtual environment on your new computer. When it’s time to upgrade to a new PC with a new operating system, you may find that some of your favourite applications haven’t been updated yet to work with your new computer. Using Paragon’s Virtualization Manager 2009, you can migrate to a new computer and make a virtual clone of your old system. Take advantage of an up-to-date powerful computer while still having access to favourite applications from the old computer.

Safely evaluate new software. New software can be unintentionally harmful to your computer. You can easily avoid negative system conflicts by creating a virtual clone of your current physical system using Virtualization Manager 2009. Try new software in a safe environment and decide whether it works and is exactly what you need before making it a permanent addition to your collection.

Virtualization for backup purposes. Creating a virtual clone of your physical system and saving it to the network is a good alternative to traditional disk imaging. In case of hardware failure, you can still work with your applications in a virtual environment from any other computer until your own PC is repaired – a solution that traditional backup software can’t help you with.

Multiple operating systems on one computer. Virtualization makes it possible to install and run several completely incompatible operating systems on one computer, including Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.

Note that this is the Release Candidate and is a free download during testing.
