HDD Clone to Smaller SSD
I plan on cloning my 6 TB HDD, through the use of a full disk backup, to a new HDD for a system I am building. Since I am only using around 1.5 TB on this disk, I plan on moving the majority of the data, to another disk leaving me only several hundred GBs actually being used. I then plan on creating a backup image of the HDD, and restoring it to a 1 TB SSD, I have only ever restored my images to a larger disk.
The initial restoration of the image will be to a larger disk traditional HDD, I am doing that, to avoid touching the original data. Will True Image allow me to do this? I normally click the Backup sector-by-sector option, will that cause me any problems?

If I already have a backup schema that already is sector by sector, and I change it to not be a sector by sector backup, does Acronis update the next differential backup as appropriate or should I start a fresh backup?

Personally, I would recommend starting a fresh backup rather than continuing one that has been using sector-by-sector. This should also give you a good indication of the size difference for the two backup methods (with sbs & without).

Definitely create a new backup task.
