Most users have cloned different scales of data, like a word document, a piece of music, a folder, a partition, or even the whole hard drive. In the process of clone, backup devices are indispensable, like:
1. Hard disk: users can appoint a partition to store clones only. When there is something wrong with other partitions, users can accomplish recovery by using clone quickly.
2. Mobile HDD: clone important data which often need updating and taking.
3. CD: store small-capacity, not commonly used but very important data.
4. Network hard drive: if users make on-line clone, there is no need to use any storage device. As long as there is network, users can make clone and perform recovery. Nevertheless, network speed and storage space are 2 limiting factors. In addition, users often feel unsafe since important data are stored on space of others. Once the website closes, all information will be lost.
5. Mailbox: users can clone small files to mailbox, like txt document, digital certificate, and software configuration.

How to clone data?
Many users are used to cloning data through copying and pasting. Moreover, when users do not want to keep data in original place, they even directly cut and paste data to a new place. The difference between the 2 methods seems whether there is source data. But actually, data security of the 2 methods is quite different. If power is suddenly off in the process of pasting data, users who are performing copying and pasting can recreate clone while users who are making cutting and pasting have to suffer data loss. Well, does it mean copying and pasting is the best way to clone data? It is of course not. When users need to clone a large number of data (especially drive to drive clone), time, data security, and efficiency should be considered. Insiders generally use the professional drive copy software MiniTool Drive Copy to make clone, and users can free download it from http://www.minitool-drivecopy.com/.
