I've been piecing things together from what I found online, but everything I find is intended for copying sets of files, instead of cloning an entire drive.\r\n\r\nI would need to deploy to over 3,000 machines that are typically running 24/7, and clone the active drive to a secondary one that is connected to the machine. The secondary drive would be statically assigned a specific Drive Letter by the time this process runs, and the drives are always in the same SATA ports from one machine to another. Currently, a script making use of Robocopy keeps all vital data mirrored from one drive to another, however after any significant software update (occurs roughly once every 3 months, and can take anywhere from 1-6 months before it's rolled out to all machines) we have to remotely connect and clone the drive using a third party program and a graphic interface."}}
