AFAIK, this trial version is fully functional for 15 days.

The WD utility you want is Data Lifeguard Tools 11.2 for Windows.

From the WD site;

If you plan on copying the contents of a boot drive, Western Digital recommends using the DOS version of Data Lifeguard Tools.

You have to create a disk from within the software.

How to install Windows version of WD Data Lifeguard Tools 11.

There's also a DOS version, if you don't have Windows installed on the original drive. But the Windows version is faster.
