Have you ever happened to you that when you want to make a backup copy on a CD of the contents you have on your computer, you can not carry it forward because there are some security protections on top of those files or documents? In these situations, you have to know that; luckily, there is software like Clony XXL, which has been developed to end problems like this.

The first thing you have to keep in mind about Clony XXL is that we are in the presence of a tool that will be useful for a huge amount of users, considering that many companies, especially those that produce audiovisual content, usually add protection to these documents or files to make sure that no one else can pass them to a CD and then distribute them on their own.

These measures, which tend to fight piracy, often end up being detrimental to users who have no bad intentions but intend to store some specific content on a CD. This is an attractive solution for those who, for different reasons, do not want to have these contents stored on their PC's disk and bet on this external storage.

It is precisely in this type of circumstance that Clony XXL appears, taking into account that it is a small program, completely free, which works by analyzing the protection that carries the contents stored on a CD. In this way, if those who have produced those files or documents have added some method of protection or security, you can be informed about it, avoiding that you stay without your new CD.

It is important to note, at this point, that Clony XXL has been developed to work somehow as a complement to other software from the same engineers, CloneCD, so you will have to use both if you want to generate your new CDs. Our experience of using the two services together has been very good so we can recommend these alternatives without major contraindications.

Clony XXL will then take care of configuring the burning tool CloneCD to avoid some of those contents that have integrated backups that cannot be sent to the new CD you are generating on your PC. And we almost think it is unnecessary to point it out. Still, if you want to take advantage of Clony XXL, you must download CloneCD previously.

Yes, something that is good is that if you have downloaded and installed both tools, we can run CloneCD directly from Clony XXL, so you don't need to work all the time with both open. Suppose we start from the assumption that necessarily using this other tool could be a negative issue when analyzing our program today. In that case, we must also recognize that everything becomes a little easier thanks to this synchronization between the two.

Unlike similar software, we have also found that Clony XXL will try to give us a hand in case we have gone through one of those disk backups that have ended up failing. If something like this has happened to you and you have disks that do not serve you, this application will teach you some tips to consider.

As for the interface of Clony XXL, we have to say that we have found it intuitive, and we especially value this quality, considering that it is not the kind of program that all users may have used before. For this reason, we consider that it passes without any problems in this section, and if we add that it has some icons and other details, it certainly has a more than acceptable design.

In case we have to highlight the main positive features of Clony XXL, we will have to talk in the first instance that it is very efficient when removing the security settings of different content on CD. In the same way, it seems to us that being able to launch its companion application CloneCD from this application helps those users who have not previously used the other.

The worst of Clony XXL is more than clear and has to do with that. Unfortunately, although it works well somehow forces us to use CloneCD when we understand that perhaps that was not the initial idea of all users. If, beyond that, you don't mind using this system for your CD backups; you can be sure that we have not found many other important criticisms to make.

In conclusion, Clony XXL is a good application when removing all protections or security elements that could have any content stored on a CD that we want to copy to another. Although it is not independent, and as we mentioned throughout the description, we have to use it with its cousin CloneCD, anyway we believe this is a good solution in this regard.
