Well this is not working for me.
I have a cMP 2010 with Mojave installed and I wanted to copy my Windows 10 Bootcamp.
I thought I could not select volume because the Winclone 8 I just downloaded was not licensed so I purchased the software.
I still cannot select my bootcamp drive to backup. In fact I cannot select any volumes.
Is there a way to do this?
It seems everything I am reading is saying no because bootcamp support on my old Mac Pro was removed from Mojave.
I am in a further pickle because I have an EFI flashed RX480 GPU to run Mojave so I cannot run my older 10.11 partition which has my licensed copy of Winclone 5 because the GPU card is not supported so I cannot run that version anymore. 10.11 did see the bootcamp partition before I got rid of my old original video card but 10.13 and 10.14 do not.
Well hopefully I will no longer need a refund. For what ever reason my BOOTCAMP volume would not mount under Mojave. I even manually tried and it would return an error. I ended up installing Paragon’s Microsoft NTFS for Mac and rebooting. Now I can see my BOOTCAMP and Winclone 8 is able to select it as a source. I am currently trying to do a Volume to Volume clone from my 120 GB SSD BOOTCAMP to a new 480 GB SSD. The 1st attempt failed because my new drive had an NTFS partition but it was MBR and not GPT. Once I deleted it and created it as GPT with an empty NTFS partition Winclone would run.
The cloning process is only about 20% done. Once it completes and I test out the new migration I will post back here. Hopefully this might help another Mac Pro 2010 user.
Well that did not work. It was at syncing for hours. I found the log and this is the message I found while it was syncing:

2020-01-19T00:41:02-05:00:Error mounting EFI on disk /dev/disk6
I waited almost 9 hours before I cancelled it.
What should I try next?
disk6 is the new 480 GB SSD I am trying to clone to.
I noticed that this disk only has one partition.
Should it also have an EFI partition?
diskutil list /dev/disk6
/dev/disk6 (external, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *480.1 GB disk6
1: Microsoft Reserved 16.8 MB disk6s1
2: Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP 480.1 GB disk6s2
Thanks,
Edward
I erased disk6 and set up another NTFS partition.
I am not sure what happened to the EFI but it looks normal now.
I should know in about 2 hours as I have another Volume Cloning running again.
diskutil list /dev/disk6
/dev/disk6 (external, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *480.1 GB disk6
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk6s1
2: Microsoft Basic Data Untitled 479.9 GB disk6s2
Let me know how it turns out!
Sorry for the delay.
it worked this last time without issue.
