HD Pro Duplicator - Main Copy Menu - Duplication Modes
The KanguruClone can copy hard drives in one of five ways: SMART mode, Brief mode, Resize mode, Disk mode and Ratio mode.
After the Copy operation has been completed, you can manually run a Compare operation to compare the data on the Source drive against the data on the Target drives to ensure that the all data was copied successfully. If you select a ‘Copy & Compare’ action the duplicator will automatically run the Compare operation after the Copy operation is completed.
|
SMART mode checks the Source and Target drives and determines which copy mode is the most efficient and automatically operates in that mode. |
|
|
Disk mode copies/compares drives sector by sector from the Source to the Target(s), and supports all OS formats (DOS/Windows/Mac/Linux) and file systems. This mode is the slowest copy mode but the most compatible with the highest rate of success. |
|
|
Brief mode copies/compares only the sectors that contain data, skipping any blank sectors (including information hidden in sub channels). This is the typically the fastest copy mode, but only supports specific file systems. Brief mode supports the following file systems: FAT12/16/32/64, exFAT, NTFS, HFS, HPFS, EXT1/2/3/4, XFS, GPT, LVM, UFS, HPA, RIEF. |
|
|
Resize copy is used to copy between Source and Target drives of different capacities. When duplicating in Resize mode, Target drives should all be the same capacity. Resize copy supports the following file systems: FAT, FAT32, NTFS. If the Source is not formatted as a supported file system, then the duplicator will automatically switch to Disk mode. Note: Comparing drives after a Resize copy will usually fail. |
|
|
The Ratio Copy operation allows you to copy a defined percentage of the Source hard drive. |
