FullCopy (physical copy) is a universal copy mode offered with all editions of HDClone. It creates an exact clone of all partitions of a disk and optionally also the sectors in between. Partitions are cloned in their entirety, regardless of the actual utilization of their sectors. This allows cloning of arbitrary file systems. Find more information about the FullCopy mode in the Copy Modes section.
