Yes, I don't run anything else while a clone is proceeding. Having Fusion running while trying to clone a disk where a VM is running from can (and very probably will) result in an inconsistent and unrecoverable backup of the VM. I do hope that your VM is either suspended or shut down, and that VMware Fusion is not running when you take the clone. (have updated to Fusion 2.0 so perhaps that will fix it.) no bootcamp partition or any other at all.Ĭarbon Copy Cloner 3.1, a new update is out, 3.1.1 will download and try again. Regular virtual machines (XP and Vista), installed in Fusion (1.0) in OS X. Are there any diagnostic messages provided by the cloning utility? When you say "gets stuck on one of the virtual files", what file does it get "stuck" on and what exactly do you mean by "stuck"? Some of the files on the VM can be relatively large (the virtual disk files in particular can be large), and may take a while to copy. Trying to clone a disk when a VM is running from that disk can (and very probably will) result in an inconsistent and unrecoverable backup of the VM. What utility are you using to clone your hard drive, and what version are you using? A BootCamp partition can't be cloned by CCC or SD - it's not a MacOS formatted volume.įirst, are you talking about a "regular" virtual machine or a VM running off the BootCamp partition? You are correct in that a "regular" VM is just a group of "files" under the VM's "bundle" (which in turn is just a special kind of MacOS folder or directory). To MacOS, there's nothing special about the files that make up a non-BootCamp VM.
