it doesn’t work for me. It starts erasing and 5 minutes in it crashes and gives me the Resource busy error.
I ran a verification on both my source and destination disks and they are fine.
Any thoughts? Thanks

HI JMCardoso
Make sure you have your passcode turned off and you have allowed access on the phone to the computer?

Its not working for me. Trying both selection but the result is the same. Any ideas what to do ?
Great! thanks!! worked like a charm
Hi Sal,
Glad you got it working good stuff.
Cheers
Matt
The terminology you’re looking for here is “Actual Partition” rather than “Actual disk.” You want to select the partition, not the disk itself.
But this helped me fix my problem, thanks.
Hi Gwen,
