Select ‘Select a disk to clone to…’ to select a destination for the clone. Select the disk that you would like to clone, then select ‘Clone this disk…’ which is shown under the selected disk. This will show a graphical representation of the disks that are attached to the system locally. If you use a USB connected drive as a destination for the clone, to boot using the cloned drive, the drive will need to be removed from the USB caddy and connected to the system internally.įirst, select the ‘Create Backups’ tab, then select ‘Local Disks’.

It is important to note that Windows cannot boot using a USB connected drive, this is a restriction that is imposed by Windows. You can clone to a drive installed in your computer or to a drive that is attached using a USB caddy. Cloning your drive will create a bootable copy of the source drive with the state it was in at the time the clone took place. This is useful if you are upgrading to a larger drive and can often be faster than imaging the source drive and restoring to the destination drive. Using Macrium Reflect, it is possible to clone an entire drive or specific partitions on a drive.
