In the process of computer use, data loss in disk is hard to avoid because of the increasing factors threatening data security. Two kinds of software are essential for users to protect data: drive copy software and data recovery software. Most users may be familiar with the data recovery software like MiniTool Power Data Recovery but unfamiliar with drive copy software. Drive copying software is able to help users copy data from one disk to another, so even if data loss occurs in one disk, we can use data in another disk to recover lost data.

Sometimes, the copied data are not complete due to users' carelessness. Therefore, when copying drive, we are advised to use drive copy software. And as to choice of disk copy software, the free drive copy software MiniTool Drive Copy is recommended.
