Disk clone completely copies the contents of one disk to another disk, including the partition structure and the files in the partitions. It is mainly used to upgrade or replace a disk, such as replacing an hard disk with an SSD or upgrading a small capacity disk to a large capacity disk. Of course, it can also be used for disk backup purposes.
