Clone Hard Drive and Disk Partitions

To clone hard drive, you need to perform sector-level HDD copying which operates independently from the file system. Common file copying tools can’t clone boot disks or partitions with a file system incompatible with the active one. That’s why hard disk cloning requires the use of special software, such as Handy Backup.

Unlike most other disk clone/backup utilities, Handy Backup allows you to schedule hard drive cloning. Being performed on a regular basis, this allows restoring computers to a “master” state which is free of malfunctioning, inappropriate software or content. This capability is of great usefulness for educational institutes, Internet cafes, and other similar organizations.

Using Image-Based Backup

With Handy Backup you can quickly and effectively clone computer HDD or any separate partition. You only need to create an image-based backup, and then restore it to a different device.
