Top 5 Free and Reliable Hard Drive Cloning Tools 

You can remove Macrium from your list

I think you forgot to mention that easeUS and macrium reflect after installed, run a continious data collecting service in the background. Really questionable in my opinion

About DriveImage XML, just a word of caution : while it can backup partitions of a GPT drive, you can only restore to a MBR drive, which makes it less interesting, given that GPT partitioning is the most widely used partitioning system used nowadays.

Thanks for the info , u provided proper informtion while others are misguiding or promoting some softwares

I understand that Macrium Reflect Free will go end of life January 2024
