How to Start Duplicating HDD

How to Start Duplicating HDD?

1. Start Duplication

Step 1

Prepare a source HDD and target HDD (*It is strongly recommended to the size of source and target are the same)

Source HDD Target HDD

ㅦSATA interface applies on the duplicator, no matter SATA 1.0/2.0/3.0 are all supported.

Note

ㅦAssemble adaptor is required if user needs to copy device with other interface, e.g. IDE.

Step 2

Place source HDD at source port, targets HDD to other ports.

Page 9

How to Start Duplicating HDD

Step 3

Use ▲▼ to select "1. Copy" then press "OK". Duplication will proceed.

When all the target HDD ports are plugged, duplicator would start copying automatically. If

Note

not all are plugged, the number of targets shows on LCD. Press "OK" to start.

The information below shows on LCD during duplication.

Step 4

Quantity of copy OK/Fail and duplication time would show on LCD after duplication completes.

ㅦData in the target HDD will be damaged after the copy process completed. Users need to

Note

backup the existing data before duplication processing.

ㅦWe do not suggest that user removes HDD during copy process because this action may

damage HDD.

2. Set-up before Start Duplication

Please pay attention to the following 2 settings before copy.

Set Copy Area of HDD

❶

Choose appropriate copy area can greatly reduce operation time and have better efficiency. There are four copy modes with different copy area : ① System and Files, ② All available partition area, ③ Whole HDD, ④ User set the percentage range of HDD.

Page 10

How to Start Duplicating HDD

System and Files (Quick Copy or Compare)

It will copy source HDD's System and Files instead of the whole HDD. The system will analyze the source HDD and identify the data area to copy. As long as the source HDD's data within the target HDD's space, the copy will be processed. FAT16/32/64, NTFS (ext2/3/4), HFS mode.

Duplication time is affected by "transfer speed of HDD".

Note

, HFS, HFSX are supported for this copy

All Partitions

This mode will bit by bit copy all of the partitions no matter there is data exist or not. The capacity of target HDD has to be bigger than the partition required capacity.

Only 350 GB partition area will be copied, it takes 48 mintues.

Duplication time is affected by "transfer speed of HDD".

Note

Duplication Target

500GB 500GB

Whole HDD

It is to copy the whole source HDD, no matter of the content, format, partition or empty space. This mode will take much more time to duplicate the source HDD completely.

Duplication time is affected by "transfer speed of HDD".

Note

How to Start Duplicating HDD

Percentage(%)

Copy the percentage selected of source HDD.

Duplication time is affected by "transfer speed of HDD".

Note

Below is one example of copy area selection e.g. There are two partitions in one 500GB HDD. Data and OS(120GB) are saved in the partition.

ㅦIt is recommended to execute Compare after Copy to confirm the accuracy.

Note

ㅦIt is recommended to copy data by function 3.Copy+Compare.

Set Tolerance of Bad Track

❷

Select function 6.2 Skip Error to set the number of error you accept to skip during copy process. If the HDD is very critical for content correctness, it is strongly recommended to keep the Skip Error to be "0".

3. Troubleshooting of Copy Fails

ㅦToo many bad track in HDD causes copy fail. ㅦTo check the setting of 6.2 Skip Error. ㅦMake sure SATA cable is connected properly. ㅦMake sure the capacity of source HDD is smaller than target.

How to Confirm Copy Accuracy?

1. To Confirm Accuracy by Compare Function

Step1

Prepare source HDD and target HDD.

Source HDD Target HDD

Step 2

Place source HDD at source port, targets HDD to other ports.

Step 3

Use ▲▼ to select "2.Compare" then press "OK". Data compare will proceed.

When all the target HDD ports are plugged, duplicator would start copying automatically. If

Note

not all are plugged, the number of targets shows on LCD. Press "OK" to start.

2. Setting of Compare Function

It is able to set compare area of HDD at function 6.1 There are four different compare area for selection : ① System and Files, ② All available partition area, ③ Whole HDD, ④ Percentage Compare.

It is recommended to execute Compare after Copy to confirm the accuracy.

How to Erase HDD?

Please notice the data within the HDD will be erased after executing the function.

Note

1. How to Erase?

Step1

Prepare the HDD for erasure.

Step 2

Insert the HDD into target port.

Function 6.4.2 Erase Master is to determine erase source HDD or not. The default

Note

setting is "Disable erase source HDD".

Page 17

How to Erase HDD?

Step 3

Use ▲▼ to select the desired erase method, then press "OK". Data Erase will proceed.

2. Setting of Erase Function

There are four erase methods: Quick Erase, Full Erase, DoD Erase, and DoD EraseComp.

Quick Erase

The function will ONLY erase the index of the HDD. It is the quickest way to erase HDD. It will damage the data in HDD, please make sure you have backup all important data before using this function.

Full Erase

The function will erase the whole sectors on the target HDD. It will take longer time than quick erase. It will damage the data in HDD, please make sure you have backup all important data before using this function.

Page 18

How to Erase HDD?

DoD Erase

This is to comply with the U.S.A. Department of Defense (DoD 5220) standard to fully erase the HDD three times bit by bit to rewrite HDD to guarantee the data was deleted. It will damage the data in HDD, please make sure you have backup all important data before using this function.

We do not suggest that user removes HDD during erase process because this action may

Note

damage HDD.

DoD EraseComp

Besides DoD erase, this function will also execute compare function to make sure the random bit was correctly written. This way of erase is to erase HDD over each sector three times: the first time with zeros (0x00), second time with 0xFF and the third time with random characters. There is one final pass to compare random characters by reading. It will damage the data in HDD, please make sure you have backup all important data before using this function.
