Can Macrium restore a backup image to a smaller partition ?
Can Macrium restore a backup image to a smaller partition as long as there is enough space allocated for the space used ?
I transferred my Test Box triple boot OSs from a HD spinner to an SSD.
I had to make the OS partitions smaller for this transfer.
Macrium Reflect free recreated the SSD partition to the original HD size during the restore.
It didn't restore the image to the smaller SSD partition.
It deleted my 2nd pre-allocated partition so it could have a 120 GB partition to restore to.
The HD partition is 120 GB with ~20 GB of used space.
The SSD partition is 65 GB.
I ended up using Acronis, as it can restore to a smaller partition size.
Did I miss something when creating or restoring the Macrium image that would allow restoring to a smaller target size partition ?
