Jaguarek62 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Hi, do you know any free way to make complete clone of my laptop ssd so if my ssd breaks I can just load the image onto new ssd? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigTex Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) I use Macrium Reflect Free for all my backup / cloning purposes on my work and at home. It's free for both comercial and personal users. Give it a try. Edited September 26, 2020 by TigTex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 You can use *any* tool capable of making a dd-like copy,such a dd or dd for windows or similar probably the simpler tool would be Clonedisk: https://labalec.fr/erwan/?page_id=42 or DMDE. You will need anyway to run the tool of choice from another OS (CD/DVD or USB booted) because you want to make a copy of the disk that contains your operating system volume and so it is constantly "in use" for both reading and writing. There are speciifc Linux based distro's, or you can build your own PE. a suitable project is the WinFE: http://www.mistyprojects.co.uk/mistype/mistype.docs/readme.html which is actually designed for forensic use jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Macrium Reflect it isn't necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
