Hi, i have a SSD hard disk with GPT partition and Asus motherboard with UEFI BIOS and Windows 8.1 64-BIT
The GPT harddisk is formed by three partitions:
a Primary Unformatted partition of 128 MB reserved for specific Microsoft programs, a FAT32 partition (LBA) Primary 100 MB which contains the boot files
and finally the NTFS partition data.
The program Macrium Reflect lets you make backups of all three partitions mentioned.
Acronis True Image instead just makes up the 100 MB FAT32 partition and the NTFS partition data but does not make the backup of the Primary Unformatted partition of 128 MB.
Why?
There are further problems when restoring the backup?
Or everything works fine and windows 8 back to work and to start regularly?

Thank you

When you make a backup of your SSD, switch to disk mode. The entire disk will be backed up. When you restore (even to a blank drive) you will get back all 3 partitions including the 128 MB partition.

Hi

"does not make the backup of the Primary Unformatted partition of 128 MB" does this mean Acronis cant backup this Partition or just doesnt select it by default.

I thought ATI is such intellegent directly to select all partitions that are essential for a System backup if you start a "disk and Partition backup"

The 128mb MSR partition is just space that is reserved so that you can convert your disk to a Dynamic disk if you want to some time in the future. If the disk is unallocated, Acronis will create a MSR partition during the restoration process. Otherwise, using Add New Disk from the bootable media and selecting GPT will also create one. I have had no issues cloning or restoring 2 different UEFI GPT systems to SSD drives using the True Image 2014 bootable media.

I have a Sony Vaio SVS13A190X that True Image 2014 can not properly clone no matter what method I use. It appears all the partitions get copied but the cloned drive will not BOOT. The system is UEFI with a GPT partitioned disk.

I should also point out that 3 other cloning programs I have tried won't BOOT either.

The only way I have found that works is to install the new SSD and do a factory recovery from the DVD's or Flash drive I made when the system was new and then restore the "C" drive backup made just before replacing the SSD with a larger one. Only problem with this method is the factory recovery takes about 3 hours.

Acronis DD11 shows "SONYSYS" 260MB, "Recovery" 16.54GB, "Local Volume" 260MB, and the C drive at 681.5GB. Another partitioning program shows 3 additional partitions that are 1MB, 128MB, and 871KB in size.

Hint hint, Acronis needs to fix this.

Is your target disk connected by SATA or an external usb caddy during the clone?

External USB 3.0 to SATA adapter. It's the ONLY way to have 2 SSD/HDD's connected to this laptop.

That is why your cloned disk will not boot. The original source drive needs to be in the external caddy, and your new target disk needs to be connected to your laptop's internal SATA port.

Thanks, I had not seen that before. I'll give it a try next time. I have cloned my other laptops that did not have GPT or UEFI using the target disk on a USB and never had a problem. Learn something new all the time.

Hey guys I had to chime in here because the tech support at Acronis use to tell me the same thing when I used True Image 2010.
I had an HP laptop and an external 500GB disk drive attached via a USB 2.0 cable. I regularly cloned my internal drive to the external drive without installing the external drive into the laptop. I used this as my backup so that if anything happened to my operating disk, remove four screws, swap the drives and I was up and running in minutes. I can't do this anymore because my new laptop is a GPT drive and True Image 2010 couldn't handle this. Seems True Image 2014, which I upgraded to can't do what I use to do either.

So if anyone knows why I was able to clone an external drive via a USB cable, install it and then boot it but can't do that now, please let me know. As a backup solution it was he way to go. All my software, all my settings were right there. But I certainly don't want to be pulling a drive each time I want to do a bootable clone. It is VERY difficult to access the drive in my current Lenovo product.

And Acronis if you are reading these posts, it's hard for you to deny that it is possible when I use to do it on a regular basis and could replicate the process anytime on my old laptop, if you want to see it. I don't use Acronis anymore because my 2014 version doesn't do what I use to do and as I said 2010 can't deal with GPT drives. It was a great product and I miss the capabilities I had, I wish you would bring them back, it was so slick.
