Cloning a hard drive. This is if you are running out of space on your hard drive (or the hard drive is failing) and want to move everything over to a new or bigger one. If you have a RAID (click here for explanation) solution it will take much longer (if possible at all). RAID solutions are NOT a substitute for backup!	Depends on size of old and new hard drive	Between $40 and $80 per hard drive.
