The practical ramifications of this are that you cannot resize partitions either larger or smaller when cloning the "clonee" must be the same size as the "cloner". We are all hoping that the next version of TI will allow user-selectable partition alignment not only for SSDs but also for Vista and Windows 7 systems that use the newer partitioning standard of 2048-sector offset.Īs long as you are doing an operation that does not involve modification of the partition table then any partition alignment in the source should be preserved in the clone. So if you have an SSD set up with the desired alignment and then you create a full-disk image, that full-disk image can then be restored and the existing alignments will be preserved. However, if your image is of the entire disk, and you restore the entire disk at once by putting a checkmark next to the disk number, then TI will use the partition table from the saved image. This is not the best alignment for an SSD. In other words, the partitions will be aligned on cylinder boundaries and will have an offset of 63 sectors. If you restore a single partition or partitions, then TI writes a new entry in the partition table for each restored partition, and it does this according to the older, established partitioning rules.
There are a lot of threads on the Acronis Forum Archive that discuss this issue.
