[QUOTE="Fsiwtfrr, post: 1933565, member: 408916"] I was told that the issue cloning Mac boot disks in APFS volumes was resolved and that the disk utility could work now. I've tried several times to clone to an external drive and I keep getting the same error, as usual, AddAPFSVolumeToContainer, line #5481 - Resource busy The operation couldn't be completed. (OSSStatus error 49153). I had previously asked in a different forum about cloning my mac to an external so I could just boot to that and save time instead of reloading the entire OS, and as I stated, I was told that APFS volumes can be cloned w. disk utility, just click the target disk, restore, click the source disk, etc.. Was that invalid? Am I missing something? I thought the APFS volume had to be idle (i.e. boot to an external, clone that way). If this is still no longer possible, what's the most reliable software that doesn't require me to pay them every year for the same software I've already purchased? [/QUOTE]
