Newbie question here. I upgraded to TI2014 today - build 6673.

With older PCs and TI2013 I would typically generate a clone, remove the HDD that came with the PC, put it in a safe place, and use the clone for day to day use.

I've searched this forum to figure out if a clone is going to work for a PC with secure boot, GPT drive, Win8.1, UEFI.

I found a Dec 2013 thread
https://forum.acronis.com/forum/50910
that had a link to this 2012 thread
https://forum.acronis.com/forum/38522#comment-120956

The suggested approach in these older threads is to use backup/restore to construct a bootable drive and not try to make it work with a cloned drive.

With the latest version of TI2014, is backup/restore still necessary to create a bootable drive for the type of PC mentioned above? (I believe new versions of TI2014 have been released over the past few months to make things work better for this type of PC.)

In other words, should cloning generate a bootable drive for this type of PC?

I did create a clone and couldn't get it to boot, but wanted to throw out this basic question before going the backup/restore route.

thanks...

Yes, in theory, cloning is supported

How did you perform the cloning operation?

Pat L, thanks for the quick reply. The link you provided had a link to cloning laptop drives
https://kb.acronis.com/content/2931

I failed to mention in the original post that this for a laptop.

I used bootable media to make the clone, but the original drive was still in the laptop. That is likely my problem.

I did a little digging for the reason behind this. In this thread https://forum.acronis.com/forum/37545 about 5 replies down is an explanation.

I'm a little surprised by this since I have cloned many laptop drives and booted them without issue with TI2013 and TI2011 on older laptops. I'll consider those cases to be simply good luck and try the recommended procedure.

To close out this thread. A laptop clone mentioned above was created with the new drive USB attached and the old drive still in the laptop. This is not the recommended approach as I learned later. (http://kb.acronis.com/content/2931).

I swapped the physical drive locations following the recommended approach. For grins I tried booting with the clone now installed in the laptop. It did boot to Win 8.1 just fine, but I wanted to go through the recommended cloning process for a laptop. This led to a couple of issues.

That clone failed to create. (I think I did something to corrupt the old drive.) The log indicated a MFT corruption which I assume was on the source drive.

At this point, I did a full disk restore to the new drive now mounted inside the laptop using an Acronis backup that I created before starting all of this. The restored disk booted but the PC immediately restarted to the mode where it wants to report the issue to MSFT. I ran the basic windows disk check on C: it did find a problem and the windows repair reported that it was able to fix it.

I'll use the new drive for a few days then swap it out for the original drive and most likely need to repair it as well.

Pat L, thanks for your help
