3 - Clone X 4 User Guide

Introduction

Thanks you for you interest in Clone X 4. This User Guide is not long and contains important things. Please, take the
time to read it before contacting our Technical Support.

What Clone X 4 does

Clone X 4 duplicates a volume (also named partition) to an other one. A volume is a logical portion of a disk. You can
see them in Disk Utility.

On the picture on the right, you can see that the disk
"500,11GB WDC..." contains two volumes, "Leopard"

and "SnowLeopard".

Clone X will allows you to duplicate one of the
partition, not the full disk at the same time.

If the Source volumes contains a System, the destination volume will contain a copy of the System. Your machine

will be able to boot the destination volume after the copy.

Note:Your hardware must be compatible with your machine, disk must be correctly partitioned (GUID

Partition table), and File System must be Mac OS Extended (HFS+) to boot. See Apple' s
recommendation and help file..

Clone X has a special tool to create a small disk for maintenance (on a USB Thumb drive, or an external disk). The
System is fully functional, but it does not contain your personal data. The destination volume must have a capacity

of 10GB Minimum, so a USB thumb drive of 16GB is perfect.

What Clone X 4 does not do

Clone X 4 does not duplicate non-Mac OS partition (like a Bootcamp partition for example).
