Mac Mini Recovery

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I'm trying to recover a Mac mini server on to another Mac mini.

I'm booting off the USB key with Acronis, but it's not letting me select disks and there are two EFIs.

The live server is running a fusion drive and this seems to be showing in the backup as two separate drives even though the Mac only shows one. 

I've had a quick look but can't see a step by step recovery guide. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hello Neil,

The procedure is basically described here. The only point to take into account when restoring a Mac would be #2 If you are recovering APFS-formatted disks/volumes to a non-original machine or to bare metal, re-create the original disk configuration manually. Other than that, the instructions are the same as for a Windows based physical machine. 

Should you still face any issues with recovery of a Mac, I'd recommend raising a support ticket. 

Thank you,
