Why Need to Copy NTFS Partition

Partition copy refers to cloning a partition to another partition. After cloning the partition, the target partition will have the same data as the original partition. The following reasons may cause you to copy an NTFS partition:

  • Backup data: copying an NTFS partition to another partition allows double data preservation and prevents data loss.
  • Save time: it is faster to clone an entire partition directly than to copy files one by one.
  • Space expansion: you can clone NTFS partition to a larger space and save the space of the original partition.
  • Transfer data: you can safely transfer large amounts of data, and you can use and edit copies of data.
  • Avoid bad sectors: if the disk where the NTFS partition is located has bad sectors, you can clone the important partition to the new disk.

Copy NTFS partitions can bring a lot of conveniences. In Windows, Disk Management and Diskaprt command allow you to create, delete, resize and format partitions. But they do not provide the function to clone NTFS partitions. You need to use professional cloning software - EaseUS Partition Master.
