Summary
HDClone creates physical or logical copies of hard drives and other storage media, as well as file images for backups, system copies, and recovery of defective media. It works across partitioning schemes, file systems, and operating systems, including some proprietary formats that may otherwise be inaccessible. Available copy options depend on edition and include drive or partition copies, SmartCopy, PartitionSelect, and copying to multiple targets. File images are supported across editions; higher editions add features such as compression, encryption, differential images, and virtual disk formats. Professional and Enterprise editions can create VMDK, VHD, VHDX, and VDI images for VMware, VirtualPC, and VirtualBox virtual machines. HDClone runs as a Windows application or from bootable CD/DVD or USB media. The Free Edition is limited to private use, up to 4 TB, and up to 70 MB/s. Paid editions start at €19.90 once.
Who it is for
HDClone suits people who need to copy or image storage media for backups, system copies, or recovery. Edition limits and licensing matter: the Basic Edition is for non-commercial use on up to two PCs, while some features are reserved for higher editions.
