Paragon Partition Manager includes Copy Partition Wizard, which can be used either for cloning sample partitions of any file system or for making backup copies of working partitions. You can copy partitions to protect oneself from downtime in case of a system malfunction. The partition can be copied back to the original place within a few minutes or can be used simply for copying separate files.
Copy Partition Wizard duplicates all usable partition data including files, the exact structure of directories and file system metadata: location of files, security information, access quotas and so on. Paragon Partition Manager allows to copy partitions only to blocks of free space.
Copy hard disk operation can be accomplished with the Copy Hard Disk Wizard. Partition Manager provides the ability to clone hard disks of any file system. During the hard disk copying process, the program moves controlling records of used partitioning scheme, the bootstrap code and on-disk partitions. This operation cannot be substituted by simply copying all on-disk partitions.
