Instead of HDClone
HDClone alternatives
HDClone copies physical or logical disks and creates file images for backups, system transfers, and recovery of defective media. It works across partition schemes, file systems, and operating systems, including some proprietary formats that can otherwise be inaccessible. Depending on edition, it supports drive and partition copying, SmartCopy, multi-target jobs, differential or encrypted images, and virtual-disk formats. You can run it in Windows or boot from CD/DVD or USB, while downloads include Linux and ARM options. Free Edition allows private use up to 4 TB at 70 MB/s; paid editions start at €19.90 once.

Another product may suit you better for network deployment, server backup, broader recovery tools, or a fully free workflow. HDClone’s Basic Edition is for non-commercial use on up to two PCs, does not run on Windows Server, and excludes FireWire, SCSI, SAS, and RAID controllers. Compare each alternative’s operating system, boot or network method, imaging scope, recovery functions, and licensing. Also match your needs to the HDClone edition, because speed, rescue, encryption, and virtual-image features vary by plan.
