I'd suggest that, as it provides a simple problem free solution to the need of backing up a bootcamp partition. It backs up your windows drive within macOS, so indirectly you have the opportunity to have a time machine backup of your windows drive. I found for bootcamp based macs that WinClone works the best. My need for windows, and the headaches and frustrations that bootcamp introduces was one factor for my decision to buy a PC instead of using my Mac for macOS and windows. With a Mac, using a different partition type (GUID) and with the AFPS filesystem, its plausible that a PC only application will not work too well on a Mac drive. I created a GPT partition map on the new drive, and started up Acronis, it created all of the partitions that windows uses (or creates) Windows doesn't really play nice with external USB drives, so it didn't produce a bootable device, but my aim was to copy the internal to the external and then swap them. Obviously I'm using a PC since I updated my SSD but I found that it cloned all of the partitions on the internal drive to the external drive. To display the boot menu: start or restart your Mac. To collect system information on an Intel-based Mac, follow the steps below: Plug in the bootable media to your Mac. Use Acronis True Image Mac version to backup your entire Mac including the Bootcamp partition.I got a copy of True Image when I purchased an SSD and the thing worked great.

See Acronis True Image: How to clone a disk on Mac Incompatibility with Windows (PC) version of Acronis True ImageĪcronis True Image PC version is not compatible with Bootcamp partition. If you clone a disk with Boot Camp, Boot Camp will be cloned along with other disk contents and bootability will be kept. When performing a recovery from an Entire Mac or a Disk backup, Boot Camp will also be restored. The reason is that Parallels Desktop does not support snapshotting of Windows running from Boot Camp: RecoveryĪlthough it is not possible to backup just the Boot Camp disk volume, it is possible to mark only Boot Camp for restoration. Otherwise the backup may fail or will include Boot Camp in an inconsistent, unbootable state. If you use Parallels Desktop software to run Windows from Boot Camp, you need to shut down the corresponding Windows virtual machine before taking the backup with Acronis. If you use third-party drivers to write to the NTFS file system, stable operation of such drivers is not guaranteed when a backup is in progress. The backup will contain all the data stored on the drive, including the Boot Camp partition. You need to back up the hard drive where Boot Camp is installed by using Entire Mac or My Disks backup source.

Bootability of both operating systems will be kept. If you have Boot Camp installed on your hard drive to use Windows in addition to MacOS, you can back up and recover the entire disk, including Boot Camp.
