User's guide O&O DiskImage Cloning
Cloning
Cloning is recommended if you wish to replace one disk with a new one. This process combines
imaging and restoration in one step. Cloning can be performed file-based or forensically. File-based
cloning transfers all recognized data onto the target and this method is fully adequate in most
scenarios.
We recommend forensic cloning for scenarios where the disk being cloned has a file system not
supported by O&O DiskImage or you need to recover data. This will involve transferring every sector
of the source onto the target. Forensic cloning can take some time and does place demands on
computer performance.
