Product Description
Key Features

---|---|---|
Smart Cloning with Dynamic ResizeWith a single click of the mouse Echo will clone your entire hard drive (i.e. Operating System, Programs, Data, Partitions, etc.) to another drive. Dynamic Resize cloning method uses Echo’s smart cloning technology and will automatically resize the original drive’s partitions to fit onto a smaller or larger replacement drive. This is the default and recommended cloning method. |
Filter CloningEcho’s filter cloning feature allows users to exclude certain files from the cloning process. Echo will make a clone of your drive and at the same time exclude the files you have selected from being part of the newly cloned drive. An ideal solution for when the target drive is too small for all of the source drive’s data. |
User-Defined CloningThe User Defined option will allow the user to adjust the size of the partitions on the new drive. This cloning method allows the user to customize the replacement drive by increasing or decreasing the partition sizes to fit their free space requirements. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
A few days ago, I decided to make clones of my hard drives and my data drive again on both my laptop and my desktop. I had nothing but problems!
It is important to point that I am retired Tech Support person and I worked in the computer field for 25 years before retiring. This is important to mention because I want all readers of this review to know that I know how to create clones and images of hard drives; I have done it thousands of times.
Well, back to a few days ago. When I tried to create a clone of my data drive again, I got a message stating "CANNOT FIND SOURCE DISK". This was quite odd because ECHO's software is very simple to use. On the left side of the screen there is a drop-down box marked SOURCE. I chose the DATA DRIVE from that drop-down box for my internal data drive-- the one I wanted to create a clone FROM. On the right side of the screen there is a drop-down box marked TARGET . I chose the external drive which was in an enclosure; i know this was correct because the drop down box indicated the enclosure by the name of the manufacturer and I only have one of those! So, I know the SOURCE and the TARGET choices I made from the two drop-down boxes were correct. However, the clone would not complete; no matter what I tried or how many times I tried it, I always got that message "CANNOT FIND SOURCE DISK".
I decided to write to NTI, the manufacturer of ECHO 5 software. After I did that, I went back to work on my PC thinking I'd have to wait at least an hour or two for an answer from the NTI corporation. Well, when I went to access one of my excel files, I discovered my data drive was completely wiped out! I had no data on the drive. the drive only consisted of two ECHO 5 folders, and 3 echo files, but ALL my data folders, all my data files (word files, excel files, PDF files, etc) were all gone!
I went over to my laptop where I had the same error ("CANNOT FIND SOURCE DISK"), and I found that my c:\ drive, which contained my system files AND my data files was also wiped clean! I had two ECHO 5 folders, and 3 files, but ALL my system files, data folders, all my data files (word files, excel files, PDF files, etc), all my program files were all gone!
I finally got a response from ECHO technician. I had only gotten the chance to write about the CANNOT FIND SOURCE DISK error, and not the damaged disk errors. He told me (this is after I sent him some ECHO .log files so they can see what happend) to connect the drive the ECHO system couldn't find to a SATA controller instead of the SAS controller. However, let's remember I am a 25 year computer tech veteran. I immeidatley recognized this as a song-and-dance answer , because I experienced the same problem with my laptop (exactly the same issues, errors, etc), andt here are no SATA CONTROLLERS or SAS CONTROLLERS on a laptop.
I spent three days reconstructing the data drive on my desktop. I purchased a program that recovers files from a mistakenly formatted disk, and I got most of my Desktop data files back. I was lucky. However, The system drive for my laptop was unrepairable, and I had to use an image from about 8 months ago and although I got the laptop going, I did not have any of my newer program files, and none of my data files. That stuff is lost forever.
ECHO's response to all this: "Unfortunately, there is no way to recover files lost by cloning the incorrect direction by not correctly selecting the source and target, which it’s the only way what you describe will happen by running Echo to clone a drive." This response is hogwash; I am not inexperienced with computer cloning and creating computer disk images. I definitely chose the correct drop-down menus choices and selected the correct drives for both my desktop and my laptop.
There are lots of cloning software choices and disk-imaging choices. I will continue to use my disk-imaging software. It takes a little longer to create the disk (you have to create the image first, and then put the image on the hard disk). It take about 3-5 hours to complete the entire task. HOWEVER, in my 25 years of working with computers, working with hard drives, creating images, creating cloned drives, etc. I never experienced anything like what happened here with ECHO 5. Don't take the chance; find something else.
IS THIS FOR REAL
My first impression was to question the legitimacy of this software, it sounded too good to be true. Their general appearance comes across as a couple of guys operating out of a rented van, what I got reminded me of the way I used to buy software years ago. They are hypersensitive about some of the misguided reviews, as well they should be, some come across as plants from nefarious competitors. Even the product itself has little notes taped inside and dire warnings to follow the instructions exactly and never use the letter O.
USING IT
Installation happened without a hitch on a five year old Win 10 computer. The things I had been warned about like that I had to register it online first didn’t happen. When I opened the app it was ready to go with the most obvious source and destination pre-chosen and a couple of easy to understand choices that even a novice could understand. I made my choice and it started to run WITH a progress status bar (despite what some naysayers claimed that I was just left with a blank screen to stare at). Their interface is clean and contemporary and I knew what it was doing every minute including an accurate time to completion, which by the way did not take all day - I transferred about 500GB from my source disk (the entire contents) in less than a half hour.
RESULTS
In the final analysis the results are what counts. Once the process was done it instructed me what to do next and makes the logical move of shutting the computer down so you can do that safely. I removed the old boot drive, swapped locations with the new 2TB hard drive and powered up. The cloned drive booted perfectly and every app and file was an exact replica. Absolutely no surprises.
YES NO MAYBE
Having a career in the computer industry and having built, repaired and used nearly every genre of PC I say I can’t understand why anyone would buy any other software than this one. And to be clear I did buy it with my own money, and also bought its two major competitor’s products the same way. Unless you clone drives for a living, in which case you wouldn’t be looking at this product, this is the way it’s supposed to be. Keeping in mind that five stars equals a product that is the best of the best, that’s what I give Echo 5.
