When the software detects blank or logically bad sectors from the source disk, it won't cede the process but working on the bad sectors cloning without interruption. Taking bad sectors into consideration, EaseUS Todo Backup, known as the best backup software and disk/partition cloning software in the market, provides a unique cloning feature called sector by sector clone.

Thus, to find a powerful disk and partition cloning software that can clone bad sectors becomes significantly important. But once your old hard drive is diagnosed with bad sectors, most of the time, the cloning procedure will be interrupted immediately. By cloning operating system, installed programs, files, mails, photos and other data would largely save time and energy to reinstall them. I got an email which contained the following'ĮaseUS sector by sector clone enables to clone hard drive with bad sectorsĭisk cloning software usually works for events when you upgrade hard disk from a smaller one to a larger one, or from an old one to a new one.

Macrium Reflect- program gets 'stuck' at ~44% of a clone every time I have tried defragmenting and error checking.
