Acronis 2014 Clone Mac disk on a windows PC

Thread needs solution

Is it possible to clone a mac hard disk using a windows PC?

Will the rescue media do it?

Thanks

Bob, welcome to these user forums.

The answer to your question will depend on what filesystem is used on your MAC hard disk drive and whether this is included in the list of supported filesystems given for your ATIH 2014 product.

See KB document: 44151: Acronis True Image 2014: Supported File Systems which lists what is supported, but also adds the following note:

If a file system is not supported or is corrupted, Acronis True Image 2014 can copy data using a sector-by-sector approach.

A sector by sector backup would be of the same size as the source drive, so would not allow for any resizing of the drive during a clone operation.

Note: you can use Backup and Restore as an alternative to using cloning, which can be safer than cloning as the source drive is left completely 'as is' and can be removed as needed.
