About HDClone 6
Parallel mass copies and deployment. Creating 16 clones in one run, directly or from an image. Perfect for production environments.
HDClone creates physical or logical copies (clones) and file images of hard disks and other mass storage media.
HDClone is a perfect tool for backups and creating copies of entire software or operating system installations.
A special SafeRescue mode makes HDClone an invaluable tool for rescuing defective hard disks and other media.
HDClone works independent of partitioning scheme, file system, and operating system.
It also works with proprietary formats which would otherwise be inaccessible.
New features
Reworked CopyEngine: never been faster
HDClone 6’s CopyEngine, the underlying copying algorithm, has been completely reworked from ground up - and while HDClone’s engine has always been performing in the top range, we further improved it with special attention to SSDs, having achieved a 65% increase in performance for single copies on fast SSDs with HDClone 6.
Full Speed, 16�
HDClone maxes out your hardware’s speed limits. In a best case scenario our FastCopy algorithm doubles cloning speed�and using logical images with SmartCopy it gets even faster. The TRIM command not only accelerates your SSD while cloning, but also improves reading times afterwards.
Depending on the particular edition you can clone 16 targets at a time.
Support of copies from dynamic disks to regular disks and RAIDs
HDClone allows copies from dynamic disks on regular disks and RAID systems. This offers a reliable way of a reverse migration, something not possible with Windows tools. This feature is not solely intended for expert users managing a dynamic disk set, it also allows users having accidently transformed their disk to a single dynamic disk to undo this mistake by transforming their dynamic disk back to a regular disk. Of course HDClone still allows for copies of arbitrary dynamic disk sets and partitions thereof onto regular disks.
Miray Virtual Disk
HDClone includes the software Miray Virtual Disk. You can use this software to mount file images that have been created with HDClone (including VHDX/VDI) as virtual Windows drives. This allows you to access files and folders in an image directly without having to restore the image to a physical disk before. Images can be accessed read-only or writable, and changes made to the images can by deployed with HDClone’s image-restore feature.
Upsizing on the fly
HDClone can increase your FAT, NTFS, HFS+ and ext2/ext3/ext4 partition size automatically on the fly during copying.
Downsizing on the fly
HDClone can decrease your NTFS, FAT and HFS+ partition size automatically on the fly during copying. This allows you to adjust partition sizes during cloning or to migrate to smaller media. Perfect for migrating to (usually smaller) SSD drives.
Defragmentation on the fly
HDClone can perform a perfect defragmentation on NTFS, FAT and HFS+ volumes while copying or restoring from a file image. This defragmentation only needs a fraction of the time usually required, consuming almost no additional time compared to the copying process.
