How to backup a bootcamp partition?
Will Winclone (or any other program) work under Lion to backup a bootcamp Windows partition? I currently use Winclone 2.2 under Mac OS 10.6.8. Also, is there anything else I need to know about my bootcamp partition before updateing to Lion? Thanks!
I would think you could use Winclone to migrate the previous Boot Camp partition to a newly created BC partition on your new drive. You would go through the Boot camp procedure to the point of installing windows then quit Boot Camp installation. You should have a partition ready for the old installation.
Not having done this myself, you need to get in touch with Two Canoes software for expert sdvice.

Paragon Software has been used successfully for backing up Winclone and they may be able to advise you as to their products capability to do this kind of migration.

You of course will need to have a way to connect the old hard disk with either an adapter or an enclosure.

Backup my bootcamp partition with time machine ?
I have read a few discussion about this subject here in Apple Support Communities but none of them was really new.
I read that it is not possible to backup my bootcamp partition by using time machine. Does anyone has any up to date ideas on how to make this work in the best possible way ? I am on os x 10.8.4 and I use bootcamp with windows 7. I want to abe able to backup all my osx data, all my bootcamp data + an external hard drive data that I use for my windows files.
Alltogether in one hd.
Thanks in advance.Look at CopyCatX to do a whole drive backup. If you want to include an external hdd then get a large external drive and make two partitions, one for the Mac including Boot Camp backup and one for the external hdd backup.

Is there a way to backup my bootcamp partition to TM? The TM application doesn't give alot of options other than to exclude things, but not to add.
If I look in TM backups of my computer, the "C" drive is not shown. When I look in TM to see if the C drive is being excluded, it is grey'd out, not offering the option to exclude OR include it. In documents/virtual machine, there is NOTHING. I read somewhere that the entire virtual machine is stored here which would make for easy backup, but it appears to be more of a 'document' storage folder (unless I am missing something hidden, but that doesn't appear to be the case).
I run my business AutoCAD through Fusion and would like to backup the system at least once a week, just for the mere fact of settings, etc. All other project and business data is stored on my iMac partition, which DOES back up through TM. Any suggestions??I read somewhere that the entire virtual machine is stored here which would make for easy backup, but it appears to be more of a 'document' storage folder (unless I am missing something hidden, but that doesn't appear to be the case).
Since you decided to use Fusion to work with a Bootcamp partition, you don't have Windows in a real Virtual Machine file. Parallels and Fusion can build their own virtual hard drives (really just files on the mac), with the OS, applications, and files on the Mac hard drive.
Apparently, you haven't used that option, but rather are using Fusion to work with a real MS-Dos partition that was created by Bootcamp. Time Machine can't work with a partition like this. I guess you decided to use Bootcamp for performance reasons, but it also means you will probably want to use a program like WinClone to back it up. http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/25932
In addition, if you do decide to use a Virtual Machine file to run windows instead of a Bootcamp partition, you will still probably want to exclude the VM file from the Time Machine backup because Time Machine will want to create a whole new copy of the entire VM file every time you use windows. I just manually copy the VM file to an external drive on occasion. -
How to back up Bootcamp partition in 10.7 Lion
Greetings!
I would like to know if anyone could explain how to back up a bootcamp partition in 10.7 Lion.
Winclone does not work in the new 10.7.
I see the partition in Disk Utility, but how do I back it up?
If I ever needed to restore it, how would one go about it?
I am not adverse to using a paid app for this task either.
Is there a way to clone the whole drive with both the Mac and Windows partitions in the resulting file?
Thanks all!
-PI found a native OS X Lion compatible backup utility: CopyCatX 5 from SubRosaSoft .
From their technical support department:
CopyCatX is Lion compatible.
To copy a bootcamp partition, the whole device has be cloned to avoid any data integrity issues. You will need to use Duplicate (and NOT Backup). Your source is the model of the internal drive. For example, Western Digital ACxxx..., or Fujitsu MHWxxx..., or Seagate ACxxx...
(picture)
For BootCamp device, we suggest New Disk Image as your destination, and store it to an external drive.
To restore the disk image, double click on the disk image itself (on the destination drive), it will then be mounted on the desktop, then click on Duplicate (NOT Restore), select the mounted disk image as the source, and the drive you want to restore the drive to as the destination.

Please let me know if you need more information.

How to resize my bootcamp partition without deleting itit
How can i resize my bootcamp partition to make it larger without deleting it or having to reload windows?
Yesterday expanded my bootcamp partition from 50 up to 100 Gb using Mini Tool Partition Wizard Home Edition, a Freeware Windows Program after seeing this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeKeawqxUa0
Note that I have OSX Mavericks, Steps are:
1) backup all your files (optional but strongly reccomended).
2) Using OSX Disk Utility resize MacintoshHD partition leaving unallocated space as much as you need to add to bootcamp partition.
3) Set Bootcamp as Boot Disk and restart the mac.
4) in Bootcamp with Windows running launch Mini Tool Partition and select the bootcamp partition.
5) Choose "expand" option in order to expand the partition using all the unallocated space.
6) The program prompt to you to restart the mac for apply the task, cause is not possible while the partition is mounted and windows running.
7) Restart the mac and then automatically Mini Tool Partition will do the job in a "graphic msdos like" form.
I was lucky and worked for me, I have a Late 2009 Mac Mini with MAVERICKS and a samsung 250Gb SSD Evo.
Hope this can help the community but decline any responsibility, do it at your own risk, you can use programs like winclone or camptune if you feel more comfortable with a pay app. -
How do I ensure bootcamp partition works after upgrading snow leopard to mountain lion
I am very apprehensive about upgrading to Mountain Lion due to performance concerns and the debacle with the new Auto Save feature which seems like a very poor and confusing solution to a problem that didn't really exist. I am only considering the upgrade, so that I can get the latest version of Xcode - 4.3; for some reason, 4.2 for SL is no longer available and my current 4.0 version is no longer supported, so I feel forced to upgrade to ML. Also, I have a bootcamp partition that I need to be able to use without issues after having upgraded to ML. So the essence of my question is this: what steps do I need to take prior to upgrading to ML to ensure that my Bootcamp partition is left intact and bootable. I have already created a compressed backup disk image and stored on a separate external hard disk for precautionary reasons. Is there anything else I should know beore going ahead with the upgrade?
Thanks.Auto Save is actually a very useful feature. If you are typing a paper in Pages and you haven't saved in a long time, and then your battery dies suddenly, your paper is saved. Before Auto Save, you would have lost all your progress.
Your BootCamp partition will not even be touched during the install of Mountain Lion. As long as you make sure to select your Mac OS partition during setup, nothing will happen to your Windows side and everything will still work fine. -
Restoring a windows ISO backup on Bootcamp Partition
My Details:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro11,3
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.3 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 16 GB
Boot ROM Version: MBP112.0138.B11
SMC Version (system): 2.19f12
OS: 10.10.1
Bootcamp Partition: Winblows 8.1 Pro
The History: hard crash... restore everything
Unable to restore from time machine.
Installed OSX Maverricks via Internet Recovery
Installed Windows 8.1 Pro via Boot Camp
Transfered Data from Thunderbolt External HD via Migration Assistant (Crashed twice, worked on third try)
I was able to get my stuff back in working order including Bootcamp To run windows... The trick was to install windows before importing data with migration assistant. Loading Windows would fail if I imported migration assistant data before hand.
The Problem: I have a windows backup 30gb ISO from before the crash that I want to load up. Has anyone performed this? is there a way to get my windows data re-installed into this machine?
Is it possible to load the System Restore into a USB and simply just re-installing the earlier date ISO?
any expertise in restoring my Windows Partition would be greatly appreciated.Windows Backup Restore goes through all the prompts.
When it's at the step to start writing to the partition I get an error along the lines of it can't over write to that partition. I wish I had a screenshot of the error message.
My BootCamp Partition is 120GB so the 30GB ISO should extract no problem.
Either way, I think I am SOL
I dowloaded winclone 4.4 and that too was a catastrophic fail with a test partition.
There should be an easier way to back up and restore your BootCamp Partition. In todays day and age Software like TM should be able to image your entire system. All it's partitions, and give you the ability to restore everything to a certain point in time.
This has been a huge ordeal, I'm shocked that Yosemite, wouldn't even restore from Time machine. Looking through this forum, TM has a lot of issues in Yosemite. Thankful Migration Assistant at least gave me my data back (after two very worrisome crashes) -
So I got a new hard drive for my early 2009 version Mac Book Pro and some new memory to speed the little guy up. I was trying to copy the Mac and BOOTCAMP partitions onto the new drive, and I am close, but not home free.
Here's what I have done so far:
I got an external cage thing for the new/old HD.
I put the new HD in the cage and cloned the mac and BOOTCAMP partitions to the new disk while booted from a DVD.
I put the new drive in the machine and the old one in the cage.
I booted the machine and it loaded the mac side fine.
When I tried to use the 'option' key to, select the system I wanted to boot into on the reboot, it didn't show me the windows (bootcamp) option.
That's where I am at. When I go into disk utility it shows my BOOTCAMP partition in the list of logical disks under my disk, but it is grayed out. I can mount it, but when I restart, I can't select it. I feel like I am so, so close. What do I need to do?
(BTW, the old drive, the dude I am trying to clone, still exists in its entirety in the cage; I could put it back in and go from there if I had to.)
Let me know what you all think!
-RicardoDo you mean you want to reinstall Leopard? If you want to boot from your Leopard DVD do this:
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading. -
Rescue and Recovery -- How to Backup the Partition
Hi there, folks.
I'm trying to create a backup of the default factory image on a partition of my harddrive. I originally ran Windows 7 64 bit Professional. I tried out Windows 8 and just this past weekend returned to Windows 7 with a friend's copy of it. However, Rescue and Recovery doesn't seem to recognize that the partition contains the backup image.
Mainly, I'm confused because the current version of ThinkVantage and R&R is completely different than the software that, just a month ago, was constantly reminding me of the partition and that it needed to be restored. Any help?
Does anyone know how to backup JUST a partition? Thank you!One work-around that I have used successfully when I had an Acronis image but no R&R image is to do a full restore to factory using the factory recovery media (from Lenovo or home made on the TP) and then restoring only the windows partition from the non-Lenovo image. This should leave the service partition, the MBR, and track 0 in the Lenovo mystery mode, and let the think button work, and you get your cloned up-to-date OS.
I should add that in one of my experiments w/multi-booting and fiddling partitions, after using this procedure with Vista on my T400, vista wouldn't boot. It required a bootable vista DVD to run the vista boot repair procedure (twice). After that, "think" and vista booted as expected. I don't know of any way to do that with Lenovo install media. If no MS Vista DVD is available, there are stripped down versions with the repair stuff only floating around the web. The usual precautions re downloads apply. There may be manual ways to repair the vista boot stuff that I haven't found yet.
I can't say with certainty that this will always be necessary. I may have screwed something up during the two step restore process.
The magic "think" button is (potentially) pretty useful, but it and the "new improved" vista boot process are a little too fragile, IMNSHO.

How to clone Boot Camp partition when Winclone does not work
The hard drive in my MacBook Pro is failing. It has 2 partions, one for Apple and the other is a Bootcamp with Windows 7.
I tried repairing it with Disk Utility, which did not work. I also ran DiskWarrior, which resulted in the error message: "Directory cannot be rebuilt due to disk hardware failure". I was able to copy my Apple files through DiskWarrior although there were a couple of errors.
My question is how to clone my Bootcamp Partition. I tried making an image with Disk Utility but it failed. I also tried using Winclone and it failed indicating there were hard drive issues.
Is there another way to try to copy the Bootcamp partition? I can boot to Apple so running a program/app or trying UNIX commands might work.
Thank you in advance.Some previous forum comments I have collected regarding backup of BootCamp.
Acronis 2011 w/ plus pak, didn't work well previously
Ghost 15 - probably not
Casper 6 works for Windows on Boot Camp only
CopyCatX is more lengthy and sector copy so takes the longest.
Paragon Hard Drive Suite 2011 because it works great and they have CampTune
Windows 7 system backup and restore - Apple's goofy HFS read-only interferes with system and file backup.
I have also used Casper, Clonezilla and Paragon but less regularly, Casper failed a few times, I stopped using it, Clonezilla worked but took forever (for me) Paragon (which I have only used twice) was the best but my sample is limited.
I have restored from DU, CCC, SuperDuper and TM, they all worked, TM was slower but not a lot, you can boot from the others, which I prefer.
Paragon HDM 2011 can do either offline or online backups, the difference is that with an offline backup, the entire partition (or disk) is unallocated. In an online backup, the backup utility is running against a partition that may be making changes to itself. When you run CCC or SD! in OS X, you're running an online backup. However, I would recommend (at least for the first backup) that you boot from the HDM recovery CD to do an offline backup. This will ensure that you have an *exact* copy of the parition/disk.
I tried the native Windows backup utility. It worked to backup and restore my Windows partition, but I noticed a "bad" side effect. When I would restore a Windows Backup to my HD, it would corrupt my MacOS boot partition, so I would then have to restore the Mac partition as well.
Winclone allows you to migrate your Bootcamp partition from one Mac to another Mac and make sure Windows will boot. However, if the processor (for example, Core Duo or i7) is a different type, the restored version of Windows may not be supported or be able to run on the new Mac. If you are migrating between Macs that are the same type (MacBook Air to MacBook Air, for example), you will have the greatest chance of success. You can try to restore Winclone images between different types of Macs (for example, a Mac Pro to a Mac Mini), but be aware that if Windows boots but does not reach the desktop, it is probably not an issue with Winclone, but rather the change in processor type. -
I have started to run Winclone to backup my BootCamp partition. It was running very slowly, so I decided to cancel the backup. But the cancellation was also running very slowly. So after waiting for a long time, I decided to force quit Winclone.
After a while I started Winclone again to do the backup, now every time I run Winclone to backup, I get the following in the log file. I am running Winclone 2.3, Mac OS X 10.6.8 on an iMac. What can I do to fix the problem? Do I need to clear something or reset something?
Thanks.

Re-sizing your Bootcamp partition
Is there a way to re-size my bootcamp parition? I partitioned out 25gb & am thinking that was a bit much for just occ. gaming. I'd like to maybe cut that down to ~ 18gb & recover some of my HDD space.
You could try the command line diskutil:
F.ex
$ diskutil resizeVolume disk1s2 limits
then
$ diskutil resizeVolume disk1s2 20G
Or something like that, not sure if it really works though. I'd be sure to backup any partitions before attempting it. Failing that you can just use diskutil to image your windows partition, then use the bootcamp assistant to restore the osX drive to how it was pre-bootcamp partition and start again.

Bootcamp partition is no longer visible and bootable
I decided to change size of my bootcamp (windows partition) by following steps in this thread:
how to resize my bootcamp partition without deleting itit
I ended up with having bigger windows partition (which is what I was trying to achieve), that I was able to boot to, but my Windows disk was no longer seen in OS X. I reviewed the thread above once again and it was pointing to another thread where folks were discussing issue similar to mine:
Repairing Boot Camp after creating new partition
Bottom line - Unfortunately, after performing the suggested action plan, I am no longer able to boot to my windows partition nor to see it from OS X
(I am able to select Windows disk while hitting Alt/Option during the boot, but then I get the message 'A Disk Read Error Occured. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart')
Please see the diagnostics below and please advise how this could be fixed - at minimum I would like to boot to Windows partition again, maximum - also to access it via OSX as well.

Increasing size of the bootcamp partition
What is the easiet way to do this without having to wipe the partition clean and reinstall windows?
Thanks12/24/12 Re: Winclone: How to increase the bootcamp partition size without starting over.
I never post but this worked so well for me that I will break down & tell my story. I use bootcamp only to Run Quicken via VM Fusion but I have been fighting a too small partition size for years & constantly getting "low memory" warnings from Windows. I didn't want to hassle reinstalling windows & quicken plus I didn't have the discs. I discovered Winclone 3.6, $20, gave it a try because of good reviews. It worked great. It made a copy of the bootcamp partition & placed it on my Mac osx, Lion, desktop. (I first had to convert my windows xp from fat 32 to ntfs but that was easy using built in windows commands after a google search on how to do it). I then used the Mac disk utility to delete the old partition & create a bigger partition. Winclone then restored the old bootcamp (windows & quicken) onto the new larger partition. The only issue was that I had to find a wired keyboard to reactivate windows (my wireless mouse worked but not the keyboard initially?). This program saved me a lot of grief. Good luck.
