| | Quick one : Can I use my source HDD while cloning? Hey guys. My bro purchased me an additional 1TB hard drive so I am gonna set it up. However, before, I want to backup my current 1TB hard drive to my backup 1TB hard drive through USB using the free version of Acronis. However, the process takes FOREVER (11 hours). So, I would like to know if I can use my source HDD (read only) while Acronis clones it through USB to my backup drive? Let's just say that find time quite long if I don't have access to my music. :\ Later guys. |

| | Hello Sébastien, Sure, you can still use your computer at the same time while it's creating the backup in the background.  |
