Enterprise-grade disk cloning utility designed for high-volume data migration, system recovery, and forensic duplication. Supports sector-by-sector cloning, differential imaging, and encrypted volume handling with zero data loss guarantee under SLA-compliant conditions. Operates at kernel level for maximum throughput and minimal system overhead.
- Operating System: Windows 10 (1809+) or Windows 11 (21H2+)
- Architecture: x64 only
- Disk Space: Minimum 2GB free on system drive (for temporary files)
- RAM: 4GB minimum, 8GB recommended for volumes >1TB
- Privileges: Administrator rights required
- Source Drive: Must be accessible (no hardware failures, no BitLocker without recovery key)
- Target Drive: Equal or larger capacity than source (sector-level precision enforced)
- Dependencies: None (self-contained .NET 6.0 runtime embedded)
- Sector-Level Precision 🔧 — Bit-for-bit duplication with CRC32 verification per 4KB block
- Differential Imaging 🔧 — Clone only changed sectors after initial full backup (delta sync)
- Encrypted Volume Support 🔧 — Handles BitLocker, VeraCrypt, and LUKS containers (key input required)
- Multi-Threaded Operation 🔧 — 4x parallel read/write streams for NVMe/SSD targets
- Forensic Mode 🔧 — Write-blocker compliance (read-only source access)
- Pre-Execution Validation 🔧 — Checks for bad sectors, partition alignment, and filesystem integrity
- Sparse File Handling 🔧 — Skips empty blocks to reduce image size (NTFS/ReFS optimized)
- Post-Clone Verification 🔧 — SHA-256 hash comparison between source and target
- Navigate to the Releases page and download the latest version.
- Extract the archive using built-in Windows Explorer or 7-Zip.
- Right-click the executable and select "Run as Administrator".
- Accept the UAC prompt and follow the on-screen setup wizard.
- Launch the application from the Start Menu or desktop shortcut.
| OS | Version | Status | Notes |

| Linux | N/A | ❌ | Not supported (use WSL2 with Windows host) |
| macOS | N/A | ❌ | Not supported |
| UEFI | 2.3+ | ✅ | GPT partition tables required for >2TB drives |
| BIOS | Legacy | MBR support limited to 2TB drives (use GPT for larger volumes) |
- Overwriting Active System Drive: Cloning to the same physical disk as the source will result in catastrophic data loss. Always use a secondary drive or external enclosure.
- Ignoring Bad Sectors: Pre-clone validation is mandatory. Bypassing this step may corrupt the target image.
- Insufficient Target Capacity: Target drive must be ≥ source drive capacity. Sector-level cloning does not compress data.
- Encryption Key Loss: BitLocker/VeraCrypt volumes require the recovery key or password. Cloning without it renders the target unreadable.
- Interrupting the Process: Power loss or system sleep during cloning will corrupt the target. Use UPS for critical operations.
- Driver Conflicts: Third-party storage drivers (e.g., RAID controllers) may interfere with low-level access. Use native Windows drivers when possible.
- NTFS Compression: Source volumes with NTFS compression enabled will not clone correctly. Disable compression before cloning.
The utility operates at kernel level but does not inject code into other processes. Standard EDR solutions (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne) may flag it as "untrusted" due to low-level disk access. Whitelisting via enterprise policies is recommended.
Critical bug fixes are deployed within 72 hours of verification. Minor updates follow a quarterly cadence aligned with Windows cumulative updates. Subscribe to Releases for notifications.
This indicates a partition alignment issue on the target drive. Reinitialize the target as GPT (for >2TB) or MBR (for ≤2TB) using diskpart before cloning:
diskpart
list disk
select disk X
clean
convert gpt
create partition primary
format fs=ntfs quickCopyright © 2026 Psyche Tailor Pierce. Licensed under the MIT License.
