Create physical or logical copies (clones) and file images of hard disks and other mass storage media. A perfect tool for backups and for creating copies of entire software or operating system installations. A special SafeRescue mode makes it an invaluable tool for rescuing defective hard disks and other media. It works independent of the partitioning scheme, file system, and operating system. It also works with proprietary formats which would otherwise be inaccessible.
HDClone can help you clone your hard disks, which is a good solution to prevent data loss when your disks are starting to failure. Moreover, it can be simply used as a way to create backup copies. For example, it can save your time when you need to install an operating system on a large number of similar computers. As most hard-disk cloning tools, HDClone works independently of partitioning schemes. Consequently, it supports any file system.
The application has an intuitive interface. Although it can be used by practically any type of user, I personally recommend not to engage in such a risky procedure as cloning disks if you do not have previous experience.
In addition to the standard cloning mode, this tool also features a SafeRescue mode, which is the most adequate one for restoring data from faulty storage media. Thus, the application can detect bad sectors and try to recover the info contained there. Unfortunately, some users claim that the program reports false bad sectors. more
