I wish to restore my Apple HD drive to a contemporary 2TB exterior SSD as a way to improve my iMac 2012.
I ran this on two techniques, each with OCLP 13.5.2

  • MacBook late 2009 6,2
  • iMac 27″ 2012 iMac 13,2, Time Machine switched off.

On the Macbook there isn’t a drawback replicating the HD.
On the iMac ‘Restoring “Container disk3” from “MacIntosh HD” ‘ fails after a minute or so with
‘Useful resource busy’
‘OSStatus error 49168’
Essential 1TB and SanDisk 2 TB give the identical consequence.
