My desktop has some of those files disabled, as I never use hibernation, and the pagefile is minimal. I usually make my images offline, so VSS cannot exclude any flies.Ĭombined with VSS by default not including Restore Points (I think - not 100% sure) and various other files, like Windows Update History, the non-cloned or non-imaged files can add up to a fair amount.Įxcellent, I didn't know that. I tried Macrium 2 or 3 years ago, among others (and settled on AOMEI), but as far as I can recall, MRF's default is to not include pagefile.sys, hiberfil.sys, and maybe some others.Ĭombined with VSS by default not including Restore Points (I think - not 100% sure, as I normally do a big cleanup before imaging) and various other files, like Windows Update History, the non-cloned or non-imaged files can add up to a fair amount. I have seen minor discrepancies between the system partition sizes, but nothing like the main partition data size differences in your screen shot.ĭoes the cloned copy boot correctly? That's how I habitually check my cloned drives. "Forensic" mode does an exact sector copy but is slower. On my system, Macrium does an "intelligent" clone by default that isn't an exact sector copy. I poked at this a bit, and some of the directories on the two drives are different size, and even have a different number of files on them.Īny ideas as to why this might be happening?
I don't know if it matters, but my C: drive is on an SSD and the destination is a spinner. I was surprised to see that the clone was a different size than the source.
I just completed a clone of my C: drive in order to update my off-site backup so that I could recover from any sort of disaster. I will be the very first to admit that I do not understand how clones are created, but my very rudimentary understanding is that it does a sector by sector copy from the source drive to the destination.
