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! Love the “truly free” approach (no ads / no registration) — and having both a clean GUI + a CLI is perfect for automation. Quick question: does cloning fully support UEFI/GPT system disks, and can it clone to a smaller target drive?

Huge congrats @tetiana_hryshmanovska @olexandr_chalyi @tetiana_hrybok ! 🎉
Will Linux/macOS versions be on the roadmap?
MultiDrive
@kate_ramakaieva Thank you so muc, Kate!! 🫶
We built UI on Avalonia, this is a .NET cross-platform UI framework, so we are planning to add Linux/Macos support.

Where are those data stored?
Is there any limit for memory?
What will be the pricing for the service?

1. Data about completed and paused tasks is stored in a single local database file. You can always delete the file and start using MultiDrive from scratch. Let me know if I've gotten your question right 🙂
2. There are no limits on drive capacity for cloning, backing up, restoring, or erasing. These could easily be multi-terabyte drives.
MultiDrive itself doesn't require much memory to run eating a few hundreds of MB in your RAM when working.
3. We hope to do so in the future. One possible scenario is building specialized MultiDrive version for some B2B market segment. For a while, from my perspective, it's crucial that we claim on the multidrive.io homepage that all the current functionality users rely on will stay free forever! 😎
You get my upvote for keeping it totally free, well done!
Still curious to know how you derive revenue out of this. Any ads involved?
Best wishes for the launch!

@ashok_nayak Thank you 🫶
No registration, no ads :)
MultiDrive
@ashok_nayak Thank you so much for the support, we really appreciate it! 🙌
And great question. I can expand a little. We’ve made a very deliberate decision with MultiDrive: No ads, no data collection, no upsells, no tracking.
MultiDrive is completely free, and all current features will remain free forever.
Two benefits for us:
1. Goodwill + awareness
People learn who we are through MultiDrive, and some eventually discover our pro-grade tools used by labs and law enforcement (forensic hardware tools are our primary business generating income, which helps cover passion projects like MultiDrive 😊)
2. Future optional paid add-ons (very limited)
If we introduce paid features in the future, they would be separate premium layers for niche professional needs, never touching the free functionality people rely on today.

This could definitely save lots of money! Does the speed of process depend on the size of drives?
MultiDrive
@cruise_chen Nope. The speed depends on the linear read/write speed of the drives involved in the process. The performance is defined by the speed of the slowest participant: source or target drive. In case of Erase process, it is only the linear writing speed of the target drive that matters.
Congrats @fmerian for hunting!
Congrats @tetiana_hryshmanovska for being part of the great launch!
I’m someone who’s personally experienced data loss from deleted space, so I know how important this really is.
I’m curious: What are the main alternatives as of December 2025? And in what ways do you stand out from them?
(hardware and software)
MultiDrive
Thank you a lot! We are so thankful to @fmerian and to you @byalexai for your advice. As of your question, some of the main alternatives are Macrium, EaseUS, Hasleo, AOMEI, and Clonezilla (as mentioned here).
The biggest difference is that MultiDrive is a completely free solution - no ads, no limits, no hidden promos. We’re very open about what we do and what features we offer.
Our GUI and CLI are modern and easy to use.
MultiDrive also supports multiple operations at the same time, the ability to pause and resume long tasks, backups in .zip format, and — importantly — it can back up and clone failing or unstable drives.
So if you have an older drive and want to keep its data alive, MultiDrive can help with that. :)

Hello PH community! 👋
I’m Tetiana, product manager at Atola Technology.
We are excited to launch MultiDrive, a free Windows tool for backing up, cloning and erasing drives!
We built it with one core belief: essential disk operations - cloning, erasing, and full backups - should be free and accessible to everyone. Thus, MultiDrive is simple enough for anyone to use and powerful enough for professionals.
When I say it’s free, I mean truly free: no upgrade pop-ups, no feature limits, no registration.
What you can do with MultiDrive:
- Move all your data when upgrading to a new drive
- Recover after an operating system crash
- Erase every byte of drive’s data before recycling or reselling the drive
- Fully backup your additional USB stick or SSD with important data
- Clone data from your failing drive with bad sectors
- If you have a bunch of drives to process, run multiple tasks in parallel
We plan to keep all current features free and later add extra paid features.
Atola also builds professional digitall forensic and data recovery tools, so MultiDrive benefits from that expertise.
We would love to hear your feedback! ❤️
