Summary

HDClone creates physical or logical copies and file images of hard disks and other mass-storage media. It works independently of partitioning schemes, file systems, and operating systems, including proprietary formats that might otherwise be inaccessible. For defective media, SafeRescue skips damaged areas during its first pass and carries out the rescue operation afterward. HDClone can create differential images containing changes to an original image, which are typically smaller than full images. Images may be saved as VMDK, VHD, VHDX, or VDI files, encrypted with AES, and compressed. Miray Virtual Disk can mount HDClone images, including VHDX and VDI, as Windows drives with read-only or writable access. The software supports Windows from XP through Windows 11, and the download page provides an AppImage for Linux distributions. A self-booting package is included with the Windows setup. The free edition is for private use, supports up to 4 TB, and lists speeds up to 70 MB/s. Paid editions range from 19.90 EUR once for Basic Edition to editions with rescue, professional use, portable service, or multi-target cloning.
