I was making my first Clone and reading the manual and it said that Acronis will shut down AFTER the cloning process right?

So THEN it asked to reboot to complete the task. The manual didn't say anything about that! So I selected to reboot.

Right before I start the Clone procedure, I made a Backup Recovery disk on a DVD that was still in the computer. So when Acronis shut down and was preparing itself to clone, I THOUGHT it was gunna try to recover my backups and rewrite over my OS drive! (DOH!!)

Next I saw it cloning. It's at "3 of 4 - Copying partitions" (Whew!)

After the cloning process it says it will shut down (Yeah!) :D

Next I'll manually disconnect my OS drive (Samsung SSD) and see if Acronis will boot of my Western Digital HDD clone. It's in a removable drive bay. Got another one waiting to try Macrium Reflect out on next.

If both these clones work I'm pretty good to go!

Say... If I want to make another clone (down the road) after loading in more software etc, can I just delete these clones (or reformat the drives) and clone them again? Or... can Acronis just "Reclone" over an existing clone or what?

Thanks!

Although it is supported, do not clone from windows. Always and restore images from the recovery CD.

Yes, but you would be better off creating images (which are normal files). That allows you to store them on disks that you can use for other purposes and store different versions and copies.

Thanks for the input!

The Clone would come in handy (once everything is loaded like all my synths etc.,) in case I had an issue and clients are waiting (time is money right?). LOL! :-)))

But the image files would be the best in the long run (which I'll do as well) ;-)

Best,

I just booted off my Clone drive and everything works great! :D

Now... if I want to access my CURRENT backups from my Image Drive, can this be done to update my Clone drive?

Thanks!
