How to Clone Bootable Compact Flash Card?

Hi, I want to upgrade my CF card and store all my original data in a larger space. My friend suggested me clone the old Compact Flash, but didn't say exactly how to do it. Do you have any good suggestions or recommendations for good products to use?

Hello! Although I don't know what computer system you are using, currently, neither Windows nor Mac has a built-in cloning program or software with advanced cloning features. So, to clone a bootable CF card, you first need to choose a trusted professional cloning tool. And I would recommend EaseUS Disk Copy for you.
