Nowadays, computer users always store more and more important personal data on their computers, including emails, photos, documents, files... All data are very important and cannot be lost. No matter what the future trend of hard disks is, data security will always be the first priority. Today I would like to recommend several hard disk image backup and recovery software to you.
1. Seagate DiscWizard
DiscWizard for Seagate and Maxtor drives is actually the Seagate OEM version of Acronis True Image. Acronis is a well-known data backup and recovery solution provider. Most of its software is paid, but this OEM version is provided for free.
Seagate DiscWizard facilitates the use of Seagate disk drives. It can quickly install a new disk drive and guide the user through the installation wizard to complete the creation and formatting of partitions on the disk drive.

4. Comodo Backup
Free data backup software from Comodo.
Nowadays, the more time you spend using your computer, the more important information and files you have. Once a catastrophic failure occurs, the loss will be greater. Don’t only think of the importance of backup when a problem occurs. However, it is really troublesome to back up manually every time. Is there an easier way? Comodo BackUp not only supports backup scheduled tasks, but also provides mirroring-like functions - setting up a data folder one by one, and once the files inside change, the corresponding backup work will be automatically performed immediately.
Comodo Backup does not use a whole disk image backup solution, so it is only suitable for backup and recovery of small-scale important data. Provides 5GB free online storage space.

7. Clonezilla
Clonezilla, also known as Clonezilla, is a partition and disk cloning tool, similar to Symantec Ghost.
The download file of Clonezilla is an image in ISO format, so it is recommended to burn it to a disc for use.
