Hi, my Kronos is about 10 years old and I was thinking of making a backup by cloning the entire SDD. Any ideas? What software do you recommend? Can I use Windows, or connect the original SSD to a PC with Windows without damaging it?

The idea is, if the original SSD fails, I can start using the cloned SSD.

Thanks!

Hi there,

Read and follow Purgatory instructions on the link below. Disregard others' comments, as most are incorrect. That is how I cloned mine and it works perfectly since years. You can also clone your disk on a larger SSD to get more space for sound libraries, songs, etc.

I did it by AOMEI backupper freeware. Just choose clone entire drive and make sure it does sector by sector. I then used AOMEI partion assistent freeware, because it was a 128Gb drive.

I even managed to make an image using AOMEI (sector by sector) and putting it on another 128gb ssd drive, and it boots up just fine

God luck

I've used one of these devices and it's worked great for me. I've also cloned too a bigger drive and then extended the partition.

Hi,
I've change the SSD by a 1 To
Here is my actions :
- I removed the DD form the kronos
- I made a copy bit to bit on Linux system by the following command :
sudo dd if (source /dev/sdb) of (destination /dev/sdc) bs=512k
Then I had only a same partition of 32Go with the system
So I opened gparted software and I extended the partition with the free space.
I replaced the DD in the kronos
I started it
And Now I have a 1 To in the kronos.
If you have questions, contact me.
