Posted on  by

If your goal is to back up your user data on the Boot Camp partition, CCC will meet your needs. If you're looking to migrate your Boot Camp partition to a new hard drive, you might consider an alternative solution such as WinClone, or one of the commercial virtualization solutions that offer a migration strategy from Boot Camp.

  • Launch Winclone. If both Macs are on the network, the Source Mac should appear in the Sources column. Click on the Source Mac to select. If you need to create a Boot Camp partition, please see the help document 'Creating a Boot Camp Partition'.
  • Run WinClone 4 and make an image file from the Boot Camp to an image file to your desktop. Run Disk Utility and select your external drive, Choose the Partition tab, click the + below the main (only partition), select the space between the now two partitions and drag upp or down until lower parts size is at least a tad bigger than the.
