Self-solving clone failures
I joined the forum having used it to try and solve the seemingly common issue of a HDD clone failing. In my case, with the Crucial version of True Image.
It would be absolutely fantastic (having spent the best part of a day trying to solve this) for a built-in wizard that goes through all the issues that might be causing the failure without the user having to search for how to run CHKDSK and DISKPART, scanning partitions that possibly have errors that True Image finds, typing in code to rename and then un-name partitions so that I can use CHKDSK on other partitions (but still finding no errors), having to run a scan to repair a brand new installation of True Image that still can't clone the hard drive ... I think you know what I have been through!
After all that, every partition is 100% free from anything bad or corrupted, according to CHKDSK; I haven't yet solved the problems, so I'm back to the next forum to see if there is anything else I can try.
Jonathan, the log(s) from the failed clone operation should be your starting place in understanding what issue is causing this.
Download a copy of the MVP Assistant log viewer tool and use this to look at the logs to see if they show any issues during the operation process?
The latest version of the new log viewer tool is at the link below.
MVP Assistant - New 2.0 with Rescue Media Builder (New Version 2.1.1)
If you have Disks & Partitions backups created on ATI 2020 or later using .tibx files, then look in the Backup Worker logs.
If you have Files & Folders backups using .tib files (or Disk backups from earlier versions using .tib files) or using Cloning then look in the Demon logs.
Other logs are shown by the MVP Assistant under the 'Active Logs' heading of the Log Viewer page of the Assistant.
The Schedule2 log contains information related to scheduled task but is one of the more difficult logs to read / work through.
The log files should be zipped to preserve their original file names if sharing in the forums and would need to be less than 3MB in size, otherwise you would need to share the zip file via a Cloud share service such as OneDrive, Dropbox etc.
