MAC - clone to smaller SSD
I have got a macbook with a 500 gb HDD. Because there are only 150 gb in use I like to clone the system to a 250 gb ssd. Is that possible with mac? I have only experience with windows systems. I would like to do this with the bootable cd.

Accronis for Mac does not offer a clone feature. You must take a backup image and restore it. The same applies for OS X (now MacOS) using Time Machine. Disk Utility has become convoluted since 10.11 as well so. If you want to clone instead of backup/restore, you'd need to use something else. There are some specific OS X cloning tools out there. Personally though, since cloning is "on the fly" and has no safety net or point of return in case something does go wrong, I'd recommend you backup and restore over cloning, regardless of the application you use.
If I remember correctly (it's been awhile since I used Acronis for Mac), I believe in 2015 you had to backup from the OS and had to restore from the rescue media.
