Can the software clone multiple HD partitions? And one of these partitions is linux (ubuntu)

Hi, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support. The included Acronis software does an image to image clone. This means what is on the source drive will be duplicated as it is onto the destination drive, no matter the number of partitions. As long as there is enough space on the destination drive for the program to allocate the partitions appropriately there should not be an issue. If one of the partitions is linux, it may not work properly as the software is not compatible with the linux file system. For any further assistance, please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you. Thank you for selecting Kingston as your upgrade partner.

you can copy files, I don't know if that's the sort of duplication you're looking for.

I am not an expert on the matter ... Don't know for sure but, I will doubt you can maintain the data as the Drobo needs to rewrite the disc to assure their structure... Not sure if will allow partitions either. Perhaps contacting Drobo directly you might find the right answer

You should be able to. I was able to reformat it to ext4 for a Linux data drive with no problems.

Try Clonezillla. It's always worked for me and is free. It will clone your entire boot drive.

If you had software that supported drive cloning yes, but the device by itself does not do "push button" clones.

Yes. You can use Synology Data Replicator or you can use the standard backup program that comes with windows. See synology link for instructions. https://www.synology.com/en-us/knowledgebase/tutorials/454

this is a normal hard disk, so you can copy whatever files you want, however you will make the most of it if you actually replace your internal hard disk with this one, and then put the other disk in an external USB enclosure

No it can't clone the drive in that manner. Using that setup you can only copy from on drive to the next. Not clone

Yes with three provisos. First what you are backing up must easily fit into two 3TB of space. Second, the Seagate could also crash and third, you need to use a back-up program which makes the Seagate a startup drive. I use Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.

Yes you could, what you need to know....... The drive inside is a std length (~2"/50mm) long w/ the M2 interface. If you are going to clone the original drive you will need to get a M2 to SATA adapter to make it easy.

Google a live CD called Parted Magic it may help to clone the drive additionally you may have to have a usb transfer cable to get the drive cloned.

Partition Wizard is free, and worked fine for me. Once installed it's simply a matter of stretching one partition into the other. Very simple to use.

Yes. Each backup type (i.e., different drive) requires a different "script" and you can create as many scripts as you want. I backup to one internal drive and two external drives.

No but if you buy the version with cable and software you can clone your main wndows disk easily

@TonyI believe you could. You'd have to create two partitions on the drive, one formatted in HFS+ (for Mac) and the other in NTFS (for Windows). I have never done any such thing but it might be worth a try. Of course, as these drives have come so far down in price, why not just buy two, one for Mac and the other for Windows?

I didn't see any options for that. You boot from the cd/dvd and clone the drive. I suppose that you could deinstall the programs you don't want afterwards. HTH
