1/5/2023 0 Comments Clone mac hdd to ssd acronisHere are my thoughts on how a clone process should be completed for best results: An online image gives you a "snapshot" of the system when taken at that point in time, but the OS, apps and services are still actively in use, plus, there are also some default filters that you may not like/want if you haven't configured those before. An offline image gives you a true backup of the entire disk without anything else getting in the way and it backups whatever is on the disk that's there. I really try to take a full system image while the OS is offline and use that when possible as you limit issues that can be caused by the OS, 3rd party apps, malware or even AV software trying to interfere. However, I frequently use 2017 to restore backup images and have not had any issues or lag with them so far. I really don't clone that much and have not done so recently. For both processes, always try to use your offline recovery media to start the process and you may want to run chkdsk/f /r on the source drive first to rule out or repair bad/dirty sectors getting copied over to the image. For the most part though, I always do a backup and recovery (same results, but gives you a backup safety net too). I've used Acronis to clone from HD to SSD a few times in both and hadn't noticed issues like this. I previously had 2016 and currently use 2017. My question is: Has anyone ever used this version to do a cloning like this - with success? I don't have any enthusiasm to go through the whole circus again if TI 2017 won't bring any better results. The present: I'm now considering starting again with the new ATI 2017. These two things are slowly making me mad! Two things, though, I haven't been able to correct are my 90% functioning Live Mail and the 'New Start' which doesn't function at all, neither automatic nor manual. I've even been able to reduce the boot time from 7 mins down to 1min. Since then (about 4 weeks later) I've got almost all of Win 10 and the softwares back in working condition. I swallowed hard and repeated the process but with the same results. When I started the PC (no problem there) however, a lot of software progs no longer functioned properly and many system settings were lost. The prog functioned as it should and everything appeared to be ok. The Background: I have a new EVO 850 SSD 1TB and I used my ATI 2015 (yes, it's uptodate and has never given me any problems) to clone my fully functional Win 10 from my Western Digital HDD 1TB to it. Has anyone had experience with cloning from an HDD to an SSD?
