This guide will show you how to clone your Windows Server to another disk with free Windows migration software. The main contents are as follows:
Windows Server is a brand name for a group of server operating systems released by Microsoft, including Windows Server 2022, 2019, 2016, 2012, and 2008. Windows Servers is more powerful than the Windows desktop editions and is designed primarily for enterprise environments. It efficiently handles corporate networking, Internet/intranet hosting, databases, enterprise-scale messaging, and similar functions. The installation process of a Windows Server is similar to that of the Windows desktop operating system. However, the configuration process for network, database and other enterprise applications is usually very complicated and time-consuming. This is unacceptable when there is an urgent need to restore service operation. The benefits of cloning a Windows Server include the following:
✦ 1. Clone a Windows Server as a backup to avoid lengthy reinstallations and reconfiguration
✦ 2. Quickly restore the system when the Windows Server fails, reducing loss caused by service interruption
✦ 3. Upgrade the Windows Server system disk to a larger disk or faster SSD
In short, there is very little free Windows Server cloning software. The disk cloning software of companies (such as AOMEI Cloner, Acronis, EaseUS, etc) cannot be used to clone Windows Server operating system for free. As far as we know, it seems that only Clonezilla and Hasleo Disk Clone can clone Windows Server operating systems for free. Clonezilla is a powerful tool, but its main disadvantage is that you must be familiar with Linux. Additionally, you must shut down the Windows Server and boot the computer from a USB or CD-ROM to use it.
Windows Server operating systems run business-critical applications where downtime is unacceptable. Hasleo Disk Clone is another free Windows cloning solution that can clone the Windows Server OS to another disk. It supports hot cloning, which allows the process to complete without restarting the server, making it the best free cloning tool for Windows Server.

Step 5. Hasleo Disk Clone is cloning Windows Server to the destination SSD/HDD. The cloning time required depends on the amount of data used on the selected partitions. Please be patient.
