treix Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hello, I would like to know if there is a handy program to deal with disk or partition cloning. I was testing a dual-boot D420 with OSX and Windows 7, but then realized that Acronis recognizes the partitions but does not allow to clone them. Apparently the standard clonezilla configuration (without digging in the options) cannot see further than the first OSX partitions either. What should I use for this task?

Administrators Bronxteck Posted September 21, 2011 Administrators Share Posted September 21, 2011 have you tried super duper, carbon copy cloner or diskutility? also did you try the latest clonezilla? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treix Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 Thanks for the ideas, I had a windows-centric mind but I will take a look to that programs. I would prefer some os-independent solution but if I find a working one I will come here to write my results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't back up your bootloader though, so once you eventually restore your backup, you'll simply have to run the chameleon installer on the drive to make it bootable again.
