To prepare the setup, download the file EFIClone.sh and place it anywhere on your system that is accessible. Usageįor a more detailed installation guide please reference this excellent writeup of CaseySJ on the TonyMacx86 forums.

It is recommended to leave it at its default value. There is no need to change this setting except for convenience. The most important setting is TEST_SWITCH. Since this is a script file, they have to be manually edited with a text editor. There are currently only two user configuration settings. Please use common sense and always have a backup handy when attempting things such as this. We are not responsible for any data loss that might occur on your system as a result of this script. When configured in your CCC or SD! clone job, EFIClone will allow you to do a single-step clone from your current hackintosh drive to a truly bootable backup drive with no other steps required.

The script provides extensive logging, has a "test" mode that will log its actions during a dry run without modifying any data and sends notifications to the notification center with the results of the run. They pass details of the source and destination drives that were used in the clone job to these scripts, from which the script is able to figure out the associated EFI partitions to automatically copy the contents of the critical EFI folder from the source drive to the destination drive. Because of this these disk cloning utilities do not copy the contents of the secondary EFI partition from one drive to another when doing their job.īoth CCC and SD! have the ability to configure a "post flight" script that will be launched when the main clone job has been completed. Though modern Macs support EFI booting in order to maintain compatibility with running non-Apple operating system on their hardware, they do NOT need the EFI partition in order to boot macOS. The old version can be accessed via Git history in this repository, if need be.ĬCC and SD! will both automatically create bootable clones on real Macintoshes in a single step. It has been tested for quite a while and found to be stable.

The revamped version is now available as the main EFIClone.sh. In the middle of June 2020, EFIClone was rewritten from the ground up to follow a more clear and standardized approach to bash scripting. EFIClone is a macOS bash shell script for Hackintosh machines that is designed to integrate with either Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! - the two most popular macOS disk cloning utilities.
