Without making a backup in advance, many Windows users have met troubles or suffered losses that are caused by losing important files. Well then, how to backup our important files in a fast way? If files are less than 10GB, we can copy and paste them to another storage device or drive directly by using Windows built-in functions, which may cost us 10 or more minutes. However, if there are dozens of GB files to copy, we had better download free file recovery tool for Windows to clone the entire partition or disk, which not only saves us much time but can ensure data security. Next, we will introduce an excellent program.

It is free for Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 users.
