do you know of any free software similar to this? i only use it for cloning my hdd.
You can obtain Macrium Reflect Free, but it is not currently supported.
HDDGURU: HDD Raw Copy Tool is a free application that can duplicate nearly any type of media. It generates sector-by-sector images, either raw or compressed, ideal for restoration later. The tool supports various interfaces including SATA, IDE, SAS, SCSI, and SSD drives. It also functions with USB and external drive enclosures such as FIREWIRE, as well as SD and MMC cards.
Clonezilla has been my preference for years. It operates on a Debian Linux base and functions without requiring a functional Windows setup. It also handles compression of image files.
PowerShell could be another viable choice.
This isn't something I've tried before, but it might be worth considering:

Start testing in a safe environment where mistakes won't result in data loss.
I typically use Macrium Reflect, yet I've been contemplating alternative solutions not offered by third parties.
