It is therefore an operation that must be done in two steps with Iperius. The second disk is created on the basis of the content of this image.

In performing cloning operations, the contents of the first hard disk (including the logical structure of its partitions) are transcribed into an image file (VHDX). Iperius is therefore both a backup software and a disk cloning software. Iperius therefore allows to clone the hard drive of a computer where it is installed for example Windows 10 or Server 2019, and this cloning allows you to have an identical copy of the disk that can be used for backup / restore, or simply to clone a Windows installation on a different disk or on a different machine, even with different hardware. This new feature makes a perfect copy of a disk and its partitions, and it is therefore possible to consider it as a real cloning of the disks.

Beginning with version 6.0, Iperius has introduced a new drive image engine, able to perform full backups of entire hard drives, which can then be restored using the Iperius recovery disk and Iperius Recovery Environment®.
