[ Functionality ]
HDClone creates physical or logical copies (clones) and file images of hard disks and other mass storage media. HDClone is a perfect tool for backups and copies of entire software or operating system installations. A special 'SafeRescue' mode makes HDClone an invaluable tool for rescuing defective hard disks and other media. HDClone works independent of partitioning scheme, file system, and operating system. It also works with proprietary formats which otherwise would be unaccessible.

[ File images ]
Instead of a direct copy from medium to medium, you can also store an exact image of medium in an image file. These images files can be stored, archived, or transmitted via network and the Internet. They can be restored at any time or place to a medium which then behaves just like a direct copy had been made.

[ NEW: HotCopy & LiveImage ]
HDClone now can create copies and file images of drives and partitions during Windows operation - even for the system volume.

[ Faster with SmartCopy mode - NEW: now supporting ext2 & ext3 ]
HDClone creates logical sector copies (SmartCopy) of FAT, NTFS, and ext2/ext3 file systems in only a fraction of the time usually needed - yielding an equivalent result. SmartCopy can clone an entire Windows XP base installation in less than 20 seconds for example.

[ AutoExpand - upsizing 'on the fly' - NEW: now supporting ext2 & ext3 ]
Let HDClone upsize your FAT, NTFS, and ext2/ext3 partitions automatically on the fly during copying.

[ HDClone on Windows (XP/Vista/Server) ]
• create copies and images - even of the system volume - while Windows is running
• access to special media & controllers (SCSI, SAS, RAID, Dynamic Volumes ...)
• using familiar Windows drive letters
Each HDClone software package now contains a Windows program (HDClone/W) in addition to the self-booting program (HDClone/S). Since both are operated identically, you do not have to change over when switching between HDClone/s and HDClone/W.

Note:Please use the Free Edition to find out if a certain PC system and its mass storage media are supported. The Free Edition shows all supported and recognized drives, but some of them may only be usable with one of the higher editions.

NEW: Transfers up to 18 MB/sec (= 1 GB/min)
NEW: HotCopy & LiveImage (creating clones and images while Windows is running)
NEW: ext2/ext3 AutoExpand (automatic upsizing during copying)

The Free Edition of HDClone clones an entire hard disk to another, larger medium. Use it for migrating an existing installation to a new hard disk or for rescuing data. The Free Edition is real freeware without obligation to buy and is intended for the short-term usage at no cost. In case of more frequent usage, we recommend using one of the higher editions since they offer higher performance, support for a wider range of hardware, and additional options which are optimized for regular or professional use.
