To circumvent this limitation without enforcing an offline reboot, HDClone X.4 uses specialized snapshot drivers. When a user initializes a HotCopy function within Windows, the software takes a live, point-in-time logical snapshot of the chosen partition or drive. Once this tracking state is locked, HDClone reads the baseline blocks from the active system volume. If the host operating system or a running application attempts to modify a sector on the disk while the cloning engine is executing, the software intercepts the request, ensuring the original block configuration state is transferred to the destination target.
