HDClone Free Edition is a free (for private use) tool that allows you to create an accurate backup (and restore if necessary) of the data stored on your hard drive, as well as copy data from one drive to another. The program offers 2 view modes - classic and copying. The first one allows you to easily define the operations performed (e.g.

disk -> image, disk -> disk, etc.), while the second one offers options sorted in the categories Backup, Recovery and Copy. The tool is available in the Polish language version, and its graphical interface is conducive to its use by novice computer users. HDClone Free Edition is perfect as a tool to protect against loss of valuable data, but also to migrate data from one drive to another.

It makes a full 1:1 (sector by sector) backup with the so-called boot sector, allowing for compression and support for IDE/ATA/SATA/SATA/SATA II/eSATA drives (AHCI), as well as external USB 1.1/2.0/3.0 and UHCI/OHCI/EHCI data carriers. The program also offers full support for GPT and UEFI-BIOS. It also comes with a small tool for creating self-running media - floppy disks, CDs/DVDs and flash drives.
