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.
Congrats on the launch!
This looks interesting and promising... A good cloning and backup tool was always something we had hunt for... and even when there was one, it had some or, other "*conditions apply" attached to it... this is a saviour!

Thank you, Product Hunt community!
We’re incredibly grateful for all the support! Thanks to you, MultiDrive reached #1 Product of the Day! 🙌
This launch meant a lot to our team. MultiDrive was built on a simple belief:
everyone deserves reliable, fast, no-limits disk cloning and backups — without paywalls, ads, or upsells.
A few things you may not know about MultiDrive:
It works on failing drives, using a recovery-oriented sector-by-sector approach inspired by our digital forensics and data recovery tools.
Parallel operations let you process multiple drives at once — great for upgrades, migrations, small IT teams, or anyone with more than one disk lying around.
CLI mode is available too, for automation lovers.
It’s 100% free — all current features (full-drive backups, cloning, erasing, handling bad sectors, parallel operations) will stay free.
We’re actively collecting feature requests for the next versions, so your feedback is shaping MultiDrive.
If MultiDrive is useful to you, or if you’d simply like to support a truly free tool, an upvote or comment helps us stay visible and gives us a real chance to become Product of the Week. 💛
Thank you again for helping us bring this project to life.

Nice! Are you planning to extend your offering to MacOS?
MultiDrive
@nikitaeverywhere Sure! MultiDrive is based on Avalonia, a .NET cross-platform UI framework.
We are planning to add Linux and macOS support! 🙂
Very clean, simple hard drive management! Is it only for Windows??
MultiDrive
@pasha_tseluyko Thank you! 😊 Yes, it’s Windows-only for now, but MultiDrive is built on a cross-platform framework (Avalonia), so Linux and macOS support are coming next.

Congrats with the launch! It is really useful! What is your business strategy and monetization model for this tool?
MultiDrive
@mark_opanasiuk Thank you so much! 🫶
For now, MultiDrive is completely free. We plan to keep the core tool free and later introduce optional advanced features for professional use.
We’ll think about the monetization model later - right now we’re focusing on gathering feedback and understanding what else we can build for our users. :)
Drive-level cloning usually hits bottlenecks. How are you handling throughput on slower or failing disks?
MultiDrive
@adityaraj007 MultiDrive manages throughput by monitoring disk health during the process. On slower or failing drives, it automatically adjusts the read strategy, reduces the load on bad areas, and retries sectors intelligently. This helps avoid hard stalls and keeps overall throughput as high as the disk’s condition allows.
So useful for everyone! How do you manage to keep it free?

There's no magic here 🙂 MultiDrive is a self-funded startup. Atola's core business is making high-performance forensic hardware imagers with advanced data recovery capabilities. Our flagship product, Atola TaskForce 2, allows investigators to image - essentially copy data in a forensically sound manner - from up to 26 drives simultaneously.
Most of our customers are organizations working in digital forensics and incident response, and after many years in the industry, Atola has built a strong and trusted brand.
