That is because hard disk partition data loss happens every now and then with the frequent use of computers. In order to prevent hard disk partition data from being lost, users have to standardize their operations as well as backup hard disk partitions. Lacking professional knowledge, most users will resort to GHOST to copy disk partition. However, there are a lot of defects if users choose to backup hard disk partition by using GHOST.

Otherwise, the whole GHOST file may be damaged, bringing huge losses to users. As a result, users are advised to choose professional hard drive copy software to copy disk partition in a better way.

Windows partition copy
Computer is now becoming an inseparable part of our life, so are the concepts: Backup and Copy. Although backup and copy are commonly used, a lot of people are always confused when facing these two concepts. In general, “backup” refers to a process while “copy” refers to an action. Actually, backup action packages original files into different backup formats in accordance with different types of backup software. The backup files can’t be used until they are recovered by backup software. However, copy action creates copy files which are exactly the same as the original files.
