MultiDrive

MultiDrive is a free Windows tool for disk cloning, wiping, and backups from Atola Technology.

It is made with the same high engineering quality as Atola's forensic imagers, so it can safely process multiple drives in parallel.

CLI support

Examples:

mdcli list                       # Shows connected drives
mdcli backup d2 d:\image.zip     # Backs up the 2nd shown drive
mdcli restore d:\image.zip d2    # Restores the compressed drive image to the 2nd drive
mdcli erase d3 --pattern FF      # Erases the 3rd drive with 0xFF pattern
mdcli clone d1 d3                # Clones the 1st (boot) drive to the 3rd drive

Instead of Short IDs (d1, d2, d3), one can use classic Windows System IDs (SCSI\DISK&VEN_NVME&PROD_SAMSUNG_SSD_970\4&5BC748F&0&020000)
