My music computer had a major crash. My power supply went faulty but fortunately it only messed up my SSD C drive, at least that's what the computer repair shop said. I did pull the C drive out and cloned it as a backup but unbeknown to me it was after the drive was scrambled, thus the backups are no good.

The shop tried to save my C drive data but to no avail. So when I get my computer back I have to reinstall and register everything.

So my question is what is a good software cloning program. I want one that does an exact bit by bit copy, that is no compression. I have checked on line and have seen programs like Paragon, EaseUS To Do Backup, etc. Does anyone have any suggestions.

Note that I have used Acronis before and had problems with it so I am not interested in that one.

Thanx in advance for your help.
