    Will This Work w/ Clonezilla to Backup Windows Boot Camp?

    Hi, I tried Clonezilla and other free backups on Windows to backUp Windows Boot Camp for almost two days (I wish I had US$49 at the moment to buy Winclone 10, this'd solve it in hours X-D ), it keeps failing to backup onto a new SSD (image or clone). I'm guessing any non-macOS based cloner or...

    Boot Mojave SSD from Catalina MBP?

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro, which I intended to downgrade to Mojave. However, clearly it can't since it shipped with Catalina. So, I thought of making a clone of my old MacBook Air hard drive which is Mojave, just to boot from when I need some older apps. Is this as simple and...
