Hi Steve,
I will get you the logs. full story. I have a NAS with a JBOD storage pool and the NAS is on a Linux based os (synology) 1 drive started getting bad sector errors on a new drive so segate replaced the drive. I took the old drive out and plugged it in via sata to my windows desk top and added the new drive as well. I'm trying to use acronis to make a clone of the bad drive over to the new drive, it's not a bootable drive its just data im trying to clone over. im using acronis 2019 its like 7 months old. and my computer doing the transfer is windows 10 1903 i believe. I followed your guide and all seamed to be working said would take about 20 hours. then when it got to 11 min remaining it stopped i let it be and went on a trip for 3 days came back and still at 11 min.

John, thanks for the further information.
If your source drive is giving bad sectors and using a Linux file system, then cloning is probably not the best tool to use here and shouldn't be necessary if your Synology NAS is using RAID for the multiple drives installed.
Cloning is more sensitive to bad sectors or disk problems, plus with non-Windows file systems may default to using sector-by-sector mode of operation, which in turn will take a much longer time.
On my own Synology NAS with 2 x 3TB drives using RAID, I know that I can replace a single drive and the NAS will rebuild the RAID array from the information on the other drive. This was done recently for another identical Synology NAS for a cousin.

I will have to give that a try then, i reached out to synology and they told me no lol. And for the record this is a 14TB drive. so its a lot to clone.

John, see webpage: How to Replace a Failed Hard Drive in Your Synology NAS which I found when dealing with the recent drive issue I was involved in.
