Some of the features that are missing are the abilities to pause and resume the copy process and to filter files and folders.Robocopy is a command line tool developed by Microsoft that provides the extended functionality that some users require. Command line tools on the other hand are not always that comfortable to use which is why Microsoft created Robocopy GUI which provides a graphical user interface for Robocopy.

Robocopy GUI is a basic software program that requires the Microsoft .net Framework 2.0 (which is included in Windows Vista). It can be downloaded from the Technet website where it was announced.

Robocopy GUI lets you specify your source and target paths, as well as any custom options or filters you’d like to apply, whether or not you’d like to create a drive mapping, where you’d like to store the resulting logs, and so on. These are all features you can certainly execute with traditional Robocopy command line functionality, but for many, having the options consolidated in a graphical interface may really simplify the process.

Robocopy GUI also extends the functionality of the existing Robocopy tool in some very interesting ways. For example, this tool is multithreaded, allowing you to create a Robocopy script, execute it, and begin creating another one while your first script is still running. It also allows you to save your scripts (even if you don’t actually execute them) so that you can create a library of common scripts or share them with your colleagues. And most importantly, Robocopy GUI allows you to save your default settings so you don’t have to start from scratch every time.

The program is a great help for users who prefer to work with graphical user interfaces. The option to use the command line version as well – for example to make use of the functionality in scripts – is still provided.

EASEUS Disk Copy is an excellent disk copy software for all operating systems that can be used to copy data from one hard drive to another drive of the same or a bigger size. One of the main uses for this software is therefor to copy all data from one hard drive to a bigger one. The disk copy software will copy all data which essentially means that running Easeus Disk Copy to copy the data of an 80 Gigabyte hard drive to a bigger hard drive will copy 80 Gigabytes of data to the new hard drive (a sector to sector copy so to speak).

This obviously includes deleted files which makes the disk copy software an excellent tool for hard disk recovery as well. The data could be copied to a spare hard drive and analysed on that hard drive without having to tamper with the original hard drive.

EASEUS Disk Copy is supplied as an ISO image which has to be burned to disk. The computer has to be booted from the CD drive to run the disk copy software. The software can also be used to copy data from one partition to another.

The process of copying on disk or partition to another is straightforward and fast. It usually involves selecting the copy mode and picking the source and destination drives or partitions. The disk copy software supports hard disks of up to one Terabyte.

The Home Edition can copy the contents of a hard disk to up to three client computers with a maximum speed of up to 9 Gigabytes per minute which should be more than enough for home usage. It does have some other limitations in place: Only IDE and SATA hard disks are supported but files can be copied from all filesystems.

The professional disk copy version has a wider range of supported hardware (Firewire, USB..), an almost 7 times higher transfer rate maximum and a maximum client limit of 20.

Technically a Linux Live CD is used to boot the source PC and distribute the data to the other hard disks. Those can be on the same computer or on computers connected over the network.
