Converter Standalone stops the selected source services before it synchronizes the destination machine with
the source machine.
Synchronize the Destination Machine with Changes Made to the Source Machine
When you convert a powered-on Windows machine, Converter Standalone copies data from the source
machine to the destination machine while the source machine is still running and generating changes. This
process is the first transfer of data. You can transfer data for the second time by copying only the changes made
during the first transfer of data. This process is called synchronization.
Synchronization is available only for Windows XP or later source operating systems.
If you resize FAT volumes or shrink NTFS volumes, you cannot use the synchronization option.
Prerequisites
Stop various source services to make sure they do not generate additional changes during the synchronization,
as that might lead to data loss.
On the Options page of the Conversion wizard, click Advanced options.
Procedure
1 Select Synchronize changes that occur to the source during cloning.
2 Save your settings.
Option
Select another option from the
options list
Click Next
Converter Standalone synchronizes the destination machine with the source machine after the conversion is
complete.
