Clone disk

• What is clone disk?
  
  Clone disk is to copy the data of a disk or partition in its entirety onto another disk or storage device.
  
  Clone disk is very useful when users need to backup data. However, few partition software can support this function.
  
  Some partition software, such as Paragon Partition Manager, PQMagic can support disk copy, but it always takes a long time. Data loss would occur during the long disk copy process if any incident were to happen.
  
  Is there any partition software that can clone disks with ease?
  The answer is yes.

  We click the button NEXT and we will see two diagrams showing the source and destination disk & partition. Of course, they will have the same size. But we can copy the partition with resizing.
