How to Clone Disk by using AOEMI Backupper

Image the scenario where you have a small disk and it is running out of the free space. You would like to replace it with a disk with more space but you have a few challenges. You don’t want to install an operating system, all applications and configure everything from scratch because, it will consume so much time. On another side, if you have only the private or the business data that you would like to move, one of the challenges is to copy them manually. Both options are not really convenient, so we will need to find another way. Another way would be to clone one to another disk.
