how do you backup your system?

#1 Post by krahni » Tue Nov 14, 2017 3:20 pm

hi,
i am running osx el capitan and windows 10 on a 480gb kingston ssd on my x220 ...
what is the easiest way to backup the whole harddisk?
i tried with acronis 2017 bootstick, backup is running fine, restore to a new ssd also but after booting the new ssd clover only shows the windows 10 partition ...
booting from el capitan installation stick shows all partitions in harddisk-manager - but how to activate in clover and make bootable?

I'm using SuperDuper for backup and Chameleon Wizard to activate boot. Never tried dual boot with Win as I have it on a separate hdd, so I don't know exactly what to expect there, but Chameleon should handle it well.

I'm using Macrium Reflect to a USB hard drive. Macrium Reflect is a free download from their website.

I'm using Windows's free, simple and quick tool, 3-button tool.

Ctrl+A
Ctrl+C
Ctrl+V

Lol, but it works. :D
Thinkpad4by3's Law of the Universe.

The efficiency of two screens equally sized with equal numbers if pixels are equal. The time spent by a 4:3 user complaining about 16:9 is proportional to the inefficiency working with a 16:9 display, therefore the amount of useful work extracted is equal.
