Backups can be stored on external devices, local volumes, network shares, or burned to optical media. The backup tool supports a handful of additional features; you need to enable advanced settings for that, and may change the compression level, backup file size limits, and password protection then.”

Organized and optimized storage

Next-generation partitioning functionality ensures optimal storage use. Your internal drive running low on available disk space? This dilemma often occurs when you have multiple partitions to accommodate different systems and data types. With Hard Disk Manager, you can resize partitions on the fly to maximize available storage capacity. With newly-added features, you also can undelete and merge partitions, edit and view sectors in the built-in hex editor, convert partitions into primary and logical. Easily perform a surface test to identify bad sectors of the partitions.

Live transfer your systems and data

Want to change an old HDD to a new SSD? With Hard Disk Manager, you simply choose where you want your Windows and clone your disk. Continue working on your system while Windows is being relocated. No manual operations or reboots necessary – just switch over when it’s ready. New Drive Copy functionality creates an exact, uncompressed replica of your system’s hard drive onto another drive.
