A data recovery tool to boot or load backups.A disk benchmark to measure transfer speeds.Partition management tools to copy partitions, disks, and files.MiniTool Partition Wizard is designed first and foremost to help create partitions within drives, but its list of features and tools make it a fantastic choice for anyone that wants to create backups. There are even more useful features locked behind the paid versions of the program, such as changing cluster sizes, converting dynamic disks to basics, creating bootable media, and more.
If you decide to upgrade to a paid version, the best option is the one-time fee of $130 instead of the yearly subscriptions.
When you back up data, it launches a secondary program called MiniTool ShadowMaker. No prep needed for typical scenarios, and actually any prep you do will typically be blown away anyway.You select the backup target, the destination for the backup, and then sit back while it works. If any existing partition occupies any space that a clone/restore operation will he targeting, then that existing partition gets destroyed. There are some special cases where you might want to stage things beforehand, but they’re rare and wouldn’t apply to your scenario.Yes the default settings are fine. See the replies I wrote in this thread just today for this exact scenario: To do that requires you to use the drag and drop method of staging Source partitions on the Destination.īut if the new SSD has a different capacity than your current drive, you should stage the clone to specify the desired partition sizes upfront rather than trying to sort it out later. The clone process completed and was successful. I can see and access all my data from it while it's connected via the USB cable.ġ. The new clone has 3Gb less data on it for some reason. It this because I used intelligent sector copy? Nothing was changed on the internal drive while I did the cloning process.Ģ. The new clone isn't being recognized by it's model name yet, which is a Samsung 860 Evo. Will my PC detect it as a 860 Evo once I install it internally Macrium shows my SKHynix and Seagate drives and their model names, but the clone just has a generic asx150 or something similar. The capacity difference is because clones performed within Windows are based of VSS snapshots of the source disk. Snapshots are necessary when cloning a "live" disk in order to ensure data integrity. Some Windows components remove data from VSS snapshots. For example, the Windows Search database index is purged from snapshots because it can grow quite large and is automatically rebuilt if it's missing anyway. System Restore points are also excluded from VSS snapshots.
