    3. Upgrade your hard drive to a new one to avoid data loss due to hardware failure of the old hard drive.
    4. Make a duplicate of your hard drive as a backup.

The purpose of disk cloning software is to help us copy the source disk to the destination disk and ensure that the data on the two disks are exactly the same.
