Some number of knowledge and recommendation exchange sites has been visited. Tips found either cover altogether wide range of situations or in particular deviate from situation here. In latter case in result unsure how well can transfer (those found) to goals set here. We look for compound USB...

Thanks for previous discussions concerning the uncertainties of using Super Duper or Carbon Copy to create rebootable disks of the operating system and programs. My M1 Mac Studio light started flashing orange, requiring the SSD and logic board to be replaced. The Mac was returned with Ventura...

MacBook Pro 14" M1 Ventura v13.4.1 Carbon Copy Cloner v6.1.6 Created clone by doing CCC Legacy Standard Backup, then installing Ventura to that volume. Clone boots ok, but it then wants to upload all my icloud folders & files to icloud. Why? Random check of dates, times, & sizes does not...

Hi, I tried Clonezilla and other free backups on Windows to backUp Windows Boot Camp for almost two days (I wish I had US$49 at the moment to buy Winclone 10, this'd solve it in hours X-D ), it keeps failing to backup onto a new SSD (image or clone). I'm guessing any non-macOS based cloner or...

Hello is there a Windows cloner (preferably free) that can split a Windows (Boot Camp) bootable volume, similar to how an app like 7-zip would compress and split a file because I have a lot of small drives (the Windows files are only semi-important, not that critical) to make them useful again...

Hello all. I decided this weekend to try to roll back my MacBook Pro 2012 from Catalina to Mojave. I have a bootable clone made with Super Duper. I wiped my laptop's hd whilst booted from the clone but during the process the clone crashed and is now unreadable. Disk Utility is telling me the...

If anyone can confirm this course of action and answer the questions I'd greatly appreciate it. I would like to use an external SSD via USB-C as the main drive with OS and apps, and the original internal HD as storage. (iMac 2017 21.5" Big Sur) Course of action: 1. Using disk utility, clone...

I just bought a new MacBook Pro, which I intended to downgrade to Mojave. However, clearly it can't since it shipped with Catalina. So, I thought of making a clone of my old MacBook Air hard drive which is Mojave, just to boot from when I need some older apps. Is this as simple and...

I somewhat frequently run into scenarios where I need to upgrade Macs' hard drives from either standard rotary drives to SSDs or size up the SSD that comes with a Mac. I'm now having Big Sur systems coming in the door and have been hitting walls with the previously very clean and reliable...

Hi, I have MBP 2009 13inch with El Capitan & Windows 10. 2 partition on 1 SSD . Now I bought another SSD and I want to clone my Windows partition to the new ssd. How can I do that?

When going for long term holidays, i want to have all of my files with me, so i can continue doing work from there. But im not talking about remotely connecting to my home computer, nor carrying the 27"iMac with me. I guess i could just get a MacBookPro and connect it to some display and have...

Hi all. I've got a problem which is surprisingly little discussed on the forums. I'm upgrading my MacBook Air 11" 2013 SSD to a bigger NVMe SSD and I need to have an exact copy from old to new SSD using only disk utility. Here's my plan: Clone current SSD to an image and save it on some...

I have a 2009 Mac Pro with a 640GB HDD running Windows 10. I don't have a HDD with OS X, so I only run Windows on this machine. I bought a 240GB SSD to replace the old HDD. I cloned the HDD to the SSD using Todo EaseUs software. When I try to boot up from the SSD it will show the Windows logo...

Has anybody successfully cloned the system volume and its data container?

I have a 240GB boot drive on my CMP 5,1 running High Sierra which is about 90% filled and which I want to replace with a 500GB external SSD. Can I create an APFS disk image on a hard drive, clone the old boot drive to the disk image and then clone the disk image to the 500GB SSD?

I'm looking into a onsite and offsite backup solution for a two-laptop household (with each a 256GB) plus 100-150GB of files on an external drive. Here are my current plans. Any suggestions to improve these will be greatly appreciated. 1. Each person has a iCloud account, syncing ~/Documents...

Hello, I bought the new iPad today (2018) and have just set it up to my liking. I have another iPad Air 2 (2014) and iPad Air (2013) at home. Is it possible to clone my iPad (2018) to the Air 1 and Air 2? I know I can use iCloud to get some things back but is there a way to clone it exactly...

Hi Folks, Could use any insight here. I am trying to clone my bootcamp Windows 10 partition on my Macbook Pro to a new Windows PC. I've tried Windows cloning programs like Macrium Reflect, without success. The Bootcamp partition is cloned on the new Windows PC, but the boot sequence fails...

My young teen has had trouble in the past with how to handle social media but we are ready now to start rebuilding trust. Is there a way to have an 'accountability' mirror/clone iphone? Ideally, it would be an exact replica of everything on the other phone, as well as the activity going on...

What are folks using to clone an APFS boot disk to HFS+? CarbonCopy Cloner 5 and 4 appear to refuse to copy system data due to lack of attribute mapping.
