Iperius Disk Cloning
Cupra Marittima, Italy
What it is
Iperius Disk Cloning is a free Windows utility for making an exact copy from one disk to another. It runs from Iperius Recovery Environment, which can be started from a USB stick or optical media such as a CD or DVD. The maker describes it for moving an operating system to a larger disk or cloning a hard disk to an SSD. Directly connected disks and USB disks are supported. The destination must have capacity equal to or greater than the source, and the source cannot also be chosen as the destination. The utility can load an .inf driver while running to show devices needing specific drivers, including RAID controllers and SCSI devices. Recovery Environment is WinPE-based and can be prepared on USB or as an ISO. It can restore Iperius .VHD or .VHDX images, including on different hardware. Creating recovery media permanently erases the selected USB drive.
