Hello and welcome to Macrium Reflect
this tutorial will show you how to clone a disk.
the destination disk will be
larger than the original source disk and
we will resize the new partitions. We
will take a clone of all of the
partitions on this disk and clone them to this disk.
To do this, select the source disk and
then select Clone This Disk directly
under the disk you're cloning. The clone
wizard will now open click this link to
select the destination disk.
Select the destination disk from the
available disks. You can click delete
existing partition on the destination
disk to remove the partitions currently
on the disk you can also copy the new
partitions over the existing ones to
delete them. You can choose to leave the
existing partitions on the destination
if you have enough space for both those
and the new partitions. Although we could drag and drop the partitions like so it
is much easier to use the copy selected
partitions button
since we're cloning the entire disk. 
To resize a partition and utilize the
unallocated space on the larger disk
click Cloned Partition Properties.
Here we have three options we can now
change the partition size manually, with the slider.
Or precisely by typing a size. Or we can
fill the remaining space with this button,
which I'll use this time. Please
note that if the partition that you need
to resize is not the last partition on
the disk you will need to drag the
partitions down and resize the partition,
before dragging down the partitions after it.
This is where you can add schedules for
your clones, which is optional. To add a
schedule click Add Schedule. There are a
number of options for scheduling your
clone. Choose a schedule that suits your
requirements, for example every Monday
and Thursday at 10 a.m.
You can edit your schedule by using the
edit schedule button. Let's add Fridays
and change the time to 11:00 a.m.
You can delete a schedule by using the
Delete Schedule button.
When you're done with your schedule
click Next. Review your settings before proceeding.
When you are happy click finish. You can
decide to run the clone now or later.
You can also choose to save the XML backup definition file using a default or
custom name. This file can be used to run
the clone again later manually and is
used for scheduled clones.
Click Okay.
This warning tells you that the data on
the target disk will be lost: it will be
overwritten completely. This is
unrecoverable so please ensure that the
target disk contains no important data
before you start. Click Continue only if
you're sure it's safe. The cloning
process now starts. We will skip forward
a few minutes here, your cloning speed
will always be limited by the slowest
link in the chain. For a modern PC this
is typically the source or destination
storage media or hard disk or the
communication link.
The clone of drive C has now been mounted by windows and assigned the drive letter T.
The clone has been created. Here you can
review your backup log.
Click Close close this window. This is
the XML backup definition file for the
clone you can use this to re-run the same
clone at any time.
The cloned disk can now be used to boot
the PC. Please note that Windows cannot
be booted from USB attached hard drives.
Thank you for watching.
