    Need recommendation for cloning software


    I want to buy an SSD and transfer my OS (windows 10) and all the apps that come with it from the HDD to the SSD and that be my main hard drive and keep my HHD as extra storage. Which cloning software would you recommend for that?

    Recommendations on Cloning Software

    However, most cloning software does not do true bit by bit cloning. Most cloning software, by default, really only does file copy. See the below screenshot from the Advanced Options menu of Macrium Reflect. Intelligent copy is selected by default, which only copies over files. You would have to change that to Forensic Sector Copy to be able to, theoretically, retrieve deleted files from the clone.

    Recommendations on Cloning Software

    Hello, I am a Mac person, but trying to learn more about supporting Windows.

    I am looking for recommendations on finding good cloning software for PCs.

    On Mac, we have CCC which is a dream to use!

    Also, I am looking for a solution that is stable, idiot-proof, and could be used to clone/backup client's data.

    Thanks.

    Lots of posts but when it comes down to it difference between cloning and images is simple.

    You clone a drive to make an exact copy of an existing drive eg upgrading to larger drive or ssd.

    You make images of an existing drive to a another drive, with primary intent to restore image to SAME drive that was backed up e.g. Windows has got corrupted or infected with ransomware.

    It just so happens you can restore image to a DIFFERENT drive i.e. same as cloning but a two step process involving a tertiary drive.

    Problem with cloning as a backup method is that it wipes the target drive. An image backup is simply another compressed file on a drive.
