download the new for android MiniTool ShadowMaker 4.3.0

If you want to adjust sizes of partitions during backup or restore, look to the Mac daddy of imaging: R-Drive Image.Īlso, when you’re backing up an entire disk, make sure you’ve manually selected all the partitions. But this was the first time I’ve seen a like-sized drive disqualified. To be fair, not restoring or cloning to smaller-capacity drives is a common issue (Windows’ own backup won’t do it). The process with ShadowMaker requires a larger-capacity disk. On the other hand, the clone disk function lacks any resizing/restore to fit capability, and even when I provided an identically-sized SSD, it balked. The compression rate was quite high as well, with the backup weighing in at a mere 18GB.

Indeed, I thought it was failing until I mounted the images and checked the result. It was unbelievably fast backing up the main partition (with 75GB of stuff) on my test rig. ShadowMaker 3.6 was exceptionally fast at all normal operations: creating images, syncing folders, mounting images, etc.

This was captured from ShadowMaker running in a Parallels Windows 11 VM. All the disks shown in the drop-down are on a remote PC running ShadowMaker.
