Hello,

 

I tried to do a disk clone using Acronis True Image 14 HD on my Linux OS computer. When I selecting the "Destination", it pop out an error(Please see image). Anyone have this issue before?

Welcome to these public User Forums.

The issue here is that because you are attempting to clone an unsupported Linux filesystem, ATI will default to using sector-by-sector mode for the clone operation, which means that it will require a target drive that is of the same or larger size than the source drive!

I would suggest that you ought to download / use Clonezilla for the purpose of cloning Linux OS disks, which can handle all the various Linux partition types.
