3. On the Clone Mode step, choose a transfer mode.

 Automatic—Recommended in most cases.

 Manual—Manual mode will provide more data transfer flexibility. Manual mode can be

useful if you need to change the disk partition layout.

If the program finds two disks, one partitioned and another unpartitioned, it will automatically recognize

the partitioned disk as the source disk and the unpartitioned disk as the destination disk. In such case, the

next steps will be bypassed and you will be taken to the cloning Summary screen.

4. On the Source Disk step, select the disk that you want to clone.

Acronis True Image 2021 does not support cloning of dynamic disks.

5. On the Destination Disk step, select the destination disk for the cloned data.

If the selected destination disk contains partitions, you will need to confirm deletion of the

partitions. Note that the real data destruction will be performed only when you click Proceed on

the last step of the wizard.

If any disk is unpartitioned, the program will automatically recognize it as the destination and bypass this

step.

6. [This step is only available in the manual cloning mode]. On the Move method step, choose a

data move method.

 As is—a new partition will be created for every old one with the same size and type, file

system and label. The unused space will become unallocated.

 Proportional—the new disk space will be proportionally distributed between cloned

partitions.

 Manual—you will specify a new size and other parameters yourself.

7. [This step is only available in the manual cloning mode]. On the Change disk layout step, you can

edit settings of the partitions that will be created on the destination disk. Refer to Manual

partitioning (p. 141) for details.

8. [Optional step] On the What to exclude step, you can specify files and folders that you do not

want to clone. Refer to Excluding items from cloning (p. 142) for details.
