System Disk Clone doesn't start
I just tried cloning my Windows 10 system disk.
The source is installed in my desktop.
The destination is plugged into a USB 3 port on the desktop.
The disks are identical, and I have done disk cloning in the past with the same disks and earlier versions of Acronis.
After I start the process I get a popup saying it's preparing to clone.
Nothing changes after that, for up to a few hours, the longest I've waited so far.
This is my prime use for Acronis and would appreciate suggestions.

I prefer to make backups and store these on my external drives, NAS and in the Acronis Cloud, then recover from the same when / if needed.
