From the Site:

Many of the 'conventional' cloning products, disk copiers and disk imagers are
not particularly good at handling disks containing bad sectors or corrupt disk structures. The DiskPatch cloning feature is designed to handle disks that contain unreadable areas, and to ignore any damage
in disk structures such as partition tables and file systems. Keep in mind
though that the DiskPatch clone feature does not offer the functions that
'conventional' imaging tools offer, like resizing partitions; clone is meant to
facilitate recovery.
