百度　　　　中南传媒董事、红网党委书记、董事长舒斌介绍了去年11月以来红网改版升级的情况和下一步工作计划。

Disk cloning software facilitates a disk cloning operation by using software techniques to copy data from a source to a destination drive or to a disk image.

Notes
^ Sector-by-sector transfer involves accessing the disk directly and copying the contents of each sector, thus accurately reproducing the layout of the source disk. ^ File-based transfer (as opposed to sector-by-sector transfer), involves opening all files and copying their contents, one by one. It requires the cloning utility to have a knowledge of the file systems on the source disk. The target disk's layout may not resemble that of the source disk. ^ Hot transfer refers to copying the contents of a volume on which there are open files in use. Implies use of shadow copy or a similar technique. ^ Previously known as Acronis TrueImage. This is the home version. ^ At the trial version, you can't perform Disk Cloning feature via UI nor Rescue disc. Both methods are locked. ^ There is no Live OS dedicated specially to dd. However Live CDs of various flavors of Linux should include dd as a part of coreutils. In general this applies also to Linux-based rescue CDs (although they may not provide dd explicitly as their primary tool, they still may give access to a shell which allows dd invocation). ^ There is no ready-to-use Live CD with this utility. It does come bundled with Mindi-Linux which is a small Linux distribution that can be used to create a customized Live CD. ^ ^a ^b There is no Live CD dedicated specially to this utility. However, it is present on several rescue CD's together with other software.

[Raw-1] Sector-by-sector transfer involves accessing the disk directly and copying the contents of each sector, thus accurately reproducing the layout of the source disk.

[File-2] File-based transfer (as opposed to sector-by-sector transfer), involves opening all files and copying their contents, one by one. It requires the cloning utility to have a knowledge of the file systems on the source disk. The target disk's layout may not resemble that of the source disk.

[LiveCopy-3] Hot transfer refers to copying the contents of a volume on which there are open files in use. Implies use of shadow copy or a similar technique.

[TrueImage-5] Previously known as Acronis TrueImage. This is the home version.

[ATItryv-7] At the trial version, you can't perform Disk Cloning feature via UI nor Rescue disc. Both methods are locked.

[dd-10] There is no Live OS dedicated specially to dd. However Live CDs of various flavors of Linux should include dd as a part of coreutils. In general this applies also to Linux-based rescue CDs (although they may not provide dd explicitly as their primary tool, they still may give access to a shell which allows dd invocation).

[Mindi-Linux-20] There is no ready-to-use Live CD with this utility. It does come bundled with Mindi-Linux which is a small Linux distribution that can be used to create a customized Live CD.

[compilation-23] There is no Live CD dedicated specially to this utility. However, it is present on several rescue CD's together with other software.
