Utility to create exact replica or mirror image of Mac-based hard drives and logical volumes
A complete Hard Drive Cloning utility that can be used to create clone or image of the Mac hard drive/volume. The cloned hard drive can be used as a ready-to-use copy of the original hard drive, whereas the image file can be useful in restoring the data, in case of any data loss/inaccessibility.
Bonus Add On:
Clones a Hard Drive/VolumeCreates clone of any Mac based volume or the entire hard drive to another hard drive, network drive, volume or folder. In situations of system crash, hard drive damage etc., the cloned hard drive can be used as a backup drive. This feature can also be useful, if you want to take a full system backup.
Creates Image of a Hard Drive/VolumeProvides option to create image of any Mac based hard drive or volume. The hard drive image stores the content of the entire hard drive and can be useful in case of any instance of data loss/inaccessibility. The image file created through Stellar Drive Clone takes less storage space, as it ignores the bad sectors and unused file space in the source drive/volume.
Resizes Volumes on Destination DriveUsually, after the hard drive cloning process, if the destination drive has more space, then the remaining extra space becomes useless and no data can be saved on the same. To utilize the entire space of the hard drive, Stellar Drive Clone provides option to resize the volumes on the destination drive.
Restores Data from Folder/ImageWith the 'Restore' feature, the software restores the volume to its original state by copying back all the data from the cloned folder or hard drive image file. Note that the data restoration process through Stellar Drive Clone is much faster than that of the manual method.
Option to Create Bootable DVDOption to Create Bootable DVDProvides option to create a Bootable DVD, which can help you boot your system, in case of any instance of system failure or crash. You can include multiple applications, depending upon the space in the DVD and run them from the Bootable DVD as well. You do not need to copy the Drive Clone application to the Bootable DVD, as the application is included by default.
Option to Create Minimal SystemCreates a minimal system with all the necessary system files, which works as a real system with bare minimum features. The Minimal System created through Stellar Drive Clone includes Apple's default applications, all the files/folders on the desktop and the applications selected by you. This system provides an empty user's folder with all the default preferences. Moreover, booting from a minimal system is faster than the Bootable DVD.
Preferences to Personalize End-Task ActivitiesThis feature of the software allows you to customize the end-task activities of hard drive imaging/cloning. The feature includes options to set various preferences, such as 'Play Sound', 'Send system to sleep', 'Shutdown system', when the job of cloning/imaging gets finished. You can also set preferences to check for Stellar Drive Clone updates at a scheduled day.
