I want to “clone” my MacBook Air. I would prefer that accessing the data from the backup or clone be as easy as feasible. Do people have any suggestions about how to go about this? Thanks
To clone the MacBook Air, the Disk Utility disk image, and third-party disk cloning software can help. When comparing imaging and cloning, cloning is best for you to directly access the data on the cloned hard drive. You can connect the cloned external hard drive to other Mac devices, and then read & write data on it straightforwardly.
iBoysoft DiskGeeker for Mac, an all-in-one disk manager for Mac is recommended, its Disk Clone feature enables you to quickly make a 1-to-1 copy of the MacBook Air’s hard drive. You can free download iBoysoft DiskGeeker for Mac to try it out.
