How to clone your pc hard drive

Episode#47 Custom Virtual Pinball Cabinet Tutorial Series Extravaganza!

In this video I show you how to clone your HDD or SSD hard drive for your virtual pinball cabinet so you can back up all of your hard work. This is crucial to do before making any changes to your setup or updates to your vpin software. In case you lose a hard drive or royally screw up your set up, you can just revert back to your cloned hard drive!

It's easy to do and I show you 3 methods on how to back up your info: a dual bay docking station, online free software, and a simple usb back up too. Don't become a victim of hard drive failure....or stupidity.

I also show you how you could upgrade your hard drive from an HDD drive to a SSD drive as well as upgrade the size of your hard drive which requires a few additional steps.

I used Lazesoft for the free software, here's the link. I'm not sponsored but hey it did the trick and was super easy to use....did I mention it was free!
