#WINCLONE IMAGE HOW TO#
Most backup errors come from issues that CHKDSK can easily fix, so do this first. I’m not going to get into how to do this, but TwoCanoes has a great tutorial here.Īssuming you only have one Boot Camp partition on your Mac, you should only see one BOOTCAMP drive in the column to the left. The first step to any Boot Camp Backup should be to run CHKDSK from within Windows. Close Preferences and you’re ready to start. You’ll get a confirmation message and your name and email address will appear in the License Information section. Navigate to where you saved the license file and click Open. At the top of the Preferences window, click Select… under the License Information section. Run Winclone from your Applications folder and you’ll see this screen:Ĭlick on the Winclone menu it the Menu Bar and select Preferences. The install process shouldn’t take more than 2-4 minutes, as Winclone itself is only about 13MB. Make sure to save both, you’ll need them later. Installing WincloneĪfter purchasing Winclone, you’ll get links to download both the install file as well as your license. While the software will set you back $30, it’s the easiest and all-around best way to get the job done.
The most effective way to back up a Windows Boot Camp partition is with Winclone. This means that you have two options.įirst, you can back up within Windows using one of these tools, but the more effective way is to back up Boot Camp from inside OS X, giving you the ability to use the same hard drive for both the Boot Camp backup and Time Machine. OS X gives you a simple and effective way to back up everything on your Mac with Time Machine, but what about your Boot Camp Partition? While Time Machine will save everything you want once an hour, one thing it can’t do is save a Windows partition, which Boot Camp just happens to be.
