Partition cloning allows you to select any partition on your hard drive and clone it to another disk or partition, creating an identical copy. This process does not affect the source partition or any other data. Using Hasleo Disk Clone, you can safely and efficiently complete this process in just a few steps.
For users who need flexible migration and data backup, partition cloning is a highly viable and reliable solution. Unlike disk cloning, it works by cloning all contents from a specified partition to achieve data migration. Below is a comparison of partition cloning, system cloning, and disk cloning.
The following table compares the three types of cloning.
| Partition Cloning | Disk Cloning | System Cloning | |
| Operation Object | A specific single partition | The entire hard drive | System-required partitions |
| Primary Use | Backing up or cloning a specific partition | Replacing or upgrading the hard drive | Migrating or backing up system only |
| Cloning Speed | Depending on partition size | Slower | Faster |
| Flexibility | High | Low | High |
Partition cloning not only allows you to back up partitions containing critical project data by cloning them to another hard drive, but also supports partition layout adjustments. After cloning, you can delete the old partition and extend the new one to utilize the unallocated space.
* Tips: Although Partition Clone can migrate the system partition (C: drive) to another disk, we strongly recommend using the dedicated System Clone or Disk Clone function to guarantee successful booting on the new drive.
