How to clone ultrabook msata drives

Thread needs solution

Obviously you need some way to connect a second drive. It doesn't have to be USB; it could be eSATA, for example.

But, don't clone. Do a backup/restore, which is much safer than cloning and achieves the same result.

After I posted this message, I found several mSata to Sata connectors.

The problem that I had was the Ultrabook came with 4 partitions. (1) the Windows book partition; (2) The C drive; (3) a hidden partition for the hibernation file (4 gb) and the (4) the restore files.
With this configuration TI2014 would not automatically expand the extra space.

What do you mean?

I don't understand. If I have a 120 gb. hard drive and restore my image to a new drive, I guess that TI 2014 doesn't automatically expand the 120 gb. hard drive to 256 gb. or expand the C Drive of 100 gb. to a new 220 gb hard drive(partition).

If you restore a whole disk to a bigger size disk, ATI will automatically scale the partition(s) proportionally to occupy the new disk. When restoring to a disk of a different size, it is better to restore one partition after the other. That lets you choose the size for the restored partitions.

Partition backups recreate the partitions as is. Disk backups should proportionally expand the partitions. This is why it didn't scale for you.
