Cloning disk/partition means copying all data from one disk/partition to another including those unseen in file system. This is sometimes better than just copying the files/directories. After you clone an HDD to another HDD, the target HDD will have the exact partitions/volumes as the source HDD. If the original HDD contains an OS, and you work in that OS every day, now you can replace the old HDD with the new one and you can boot from the new HDD and work on the new HDD as if it were the old HDD. This is useful when you find some fading signals on the old HDD. Cloning old HDD drive to a new one in time can prevent you from possible data loss. Of course, even there is no problem on your working HDD, backing it up to another drive from time to time is also a good habit. Another example of cloning whole drive is when doing data recovery. The first step of data recovery is to clone the disk to be recovered to another disk and do data recovery on the cloned disk. As a backup method, you may want to clone hard drive to a file instead of another hard disk.
In many situations that disk cloning happens, the to be cloned disk may not be in good health status. Bad sectors may have been developed on it. Usual drive cloning tools may not handle such corrupted disks well. They may be stuck in reading bad sectors or just stop working. To clone disk with bad sectors, you need Clone Bad Disk. Clone Bad Disk can clone disk ignoring bad sectors. And it is smart enough to backup good data first then focuses on bad blocks.
