Free disk cloning, backup and erasing software
MultiDrive is a free Windows tool that lets you clone, back up, and securely wipe entire drives. Use a simple GUI or a powerful CLI — whatever fits your workflow. Move to a new PC by cloning your drive, back up your data to avoid loss, and safely wipe a disk before selling it.
MultiDrive backs up entire drives or partitions to ZIP or RAW formats with hash verification for data integrity. Users can restore from backup files in seconds, and the new ZST compression format is 4-5x faster than ZIP while saving storage space.
MultiDrive CLI enables system administrators to script and automate backup, clone, erase, and restore operations. Silent installation, parallel task execution, and Windows Task Scheduler integration allow deployment of standardized system images and bulk drive management without manual intervention.
MultiDrive permanently wipes drives using secure erasing methods with customizable Hex patterns. It can erase full drives or specific partitions, protecting against data recovery attempts, and supports parallel erasure of multiple drives simultaneously.
MultiDrive can clone or backup drives with read errors by skipping unreadable 256KB blocks and continuing operation where standard tools fail. This allows users to extract data from failing drives without expensive data recovery services.
MultiDrive clones entire drives to create exact replicas, enabling seamless migration to new storage devices. Users can clone HDD to SSD with 5-10x performance improvement, or upgrade between SSDs without data loss or OS reinstallation.
