So, I have a 750GB drive. It has a 50GB partition for my OS/programs/games. The rest is my storage partition with files/data/media/downloads etc. The only rooted folder structures from my C: partition to storage partition is My Documents and manually set temporary files folders for some of my programs. This partition is only ~80GB full.
Now, I also have a 640GB drive. I would like to basically mirror drives. I will set up a 50GB partition for C: and the rest for my storage partition. I would obviously have less space in my storage partition compared to the storage partition in my 750GB drive, but that is absolutely fine.
My questions. Will Acronis tell me I can't copy my storage partition because the partition space is too small where I would like to copy? Or will it realize that the partition is large enough for the data and just ignore the empty space? Also, will this mirrored drive function exactly the same as my first drive? No problems with having My Documents and temporary file folders on the storage partition? This information is all stored in the registry and programs themselves, which Acronis will have no problem copying, correct?
