HD Pro Duplicator - Main Copy Menu - Duplication Modes - Brief

Updated on May 18, 2026

Brief mode copies only the sectors that contain data and skips any blank sectors (including information hidden in sub channels). This mode supports the following file systems: FAT, FAT32, exFAT, NTFS, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, HFS, HFS+, JFS, XFS.

Note: If the Source is not formatted as a supported file system, then the duplicator will automatically switch to Disk copy. If you want to copy an unsupported file system in Brief mode, you will need to enable Advanced Brief Mode.
