On the Mac I use Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper Cloner and the cloning =
function in Tech Tool Pro. Over the years, I have had times when an OS =
volume failed to clone with CCC and SuperDuper so that's why i keep =
several options available. I have not yet cloned anything under windows. =
I just keep a backup drive.

The OS volume should have plenty of room to allow the OS to efficiently =
move files around as needed. If you cram the OS clone volume on an =
almost full drive, you risk a slowdown of any caching or other file =
maintenance functions.

In the past some programs have required re-authorization after switching =
to a clone and if I recall correctly, it was usually Adobe programs, but =
re-authorzation was a simple adjustment.

Good luck with your cloning.
