cloning problem

Thread needs solution

I have been using Acronis for a number of years and today I have found an issue where when I am trying to clone a 1tb drive to a 500GB Drive it for some reason wants to make space for the empty space, WTF, and then I noticed it also wanted to clone data from a third drive to the target.. weird, any ideas

welcome to these public User Forums.

What Acronis software / version are you using here?  Is it ATI 2020 as per this forum or a different version?

How are you doing the cloning?  Is this from within Windows or are you using Acronis bootable rescue media?

The log file for the clone operation should throw more light on what is happening - logs are available for both the Windows and rescue media versions.

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.
