can enormously enhance the speed of backup from the memory card to the hard
drive.
16 von 361636
17
1. Full Backup
The full backup function can copy all files and folders on the memory card to the hard
drive.
With the function, you can:
• back up multiple types of memory card, such as CF, SD, MS, etc.
• back up the picture data on memory cards of types mentioned above and
other non-system data.
• create new folders in the built-in hard drive and maintain directory structure of
the original card.
The function DOES NOT enable you to:
• back up memory card label and data of system files (such as Recycle Bin of

pictures in the backup folder.
If you need to view other types of data, refer to relevant sections of “File Manager”.
2. Incremental Backup
Incremental backup will distinguish differences between the memory card and folders
of the hard drive. It will also copy the files and folders newly added to the memory
card to the hard drive folder, thus reducing data quantity of each backup and avoid
repeated data.
With the function, you can:
• copy data on the memory card to the last successful backup folder (full backup
or incremental backup)
• select an existing folder, and copy the non-repeated data of the memory card
to the folder.
The function DOES NOT enable you to :
• back up memory card label and data of system files (such as Recycle Bin of
Windows)
• memory cards adopting FAT12 file system.
• back up files of the same name but different data.
• synchronize different data of the memory card and the hard drive folder,
namely the data existing in the designated hard drive folder but not on the
memory card will not be rewritten into the memory card.
• make incremental backup in a hard drive folder without any data.
Making incremental backup of CF memory card: Insert CF card into CF slot on the
top of GIGA VU SONIC. Select the function of <Incremental Backup> on the main
menu. Select <Begin Backup> after confirming the incremental folder.
Making incremental backup of SD / MS memory cards: Insert SD and MS memory
card into MS/SD slot on the right of GIGA VU SONIC. Select the function of
<Incremental Backup> on the main menu. Select <Backup> after confirming the
incremental folder.

3. Backup Setup
You can change Verify, Folder, Speed and Visual of backup.
20
Changing verification mode:
Under <Backup> on the main menu, select <Backup Setup> [ <Verify>.
Real-Time Verify:
The real-time verification performs CRC verification of data in the course
of file copying. Upon discovery of error, it will be retried. I/O error will be
reported after the retry fails. The real-time verification is supported by
hardware, so it will not influence the copying speed.
The real-time verification is applicable to equipment as follows:
SATA hard drive, CF memory card of UDMA, SD card, MMC card and MS card.
Verify HDD:
After the function of verifying hard drive is selected, for each file copied, CRC
checksum of the file will be recorded (multiple CRC checksums will be recorded for
large files). Whenever all files in a folder are copied, the system will reread the hard
drive, recalculate the CRC checksum of each file and compare it with the checksum
during copying to ascertain the copying operation is fully correct.
When the function is started, it will:
• prevent data from error and loss due to bad sectors of hard drive.
• influence copying speed, extent of which depends on the reading speed of the
hard drive.
20 von 362036
Verify Card:
After the verifying memory card function is selected, for each file copied, CRC
checksum of the file will be recorded (multiple CRC checksums will be recorded for
large files). Whenever all files in a folder are copied, the system will reread the
memory card, recalculate the CRC checksum of each file and compare it with the
checksum during copying to ascertain the copying operation is fully correct.
When the function is started, it will:
• detect the data errors on the memory card.
• influence copying speed, extent of which depends on the reading speed of the
memory card.
Changing Speed mode:
Under <Backup> on the main menu, select <Backup Setup>[ <Speed>.
21
Hyper speed:
Hyper speed uses slow operating speed of the hard drive, and renews copying
progress whenever a file is copied.
When the function is started, it:
• will reach an average copying speed of about 16Mbytes/s.
• may not reach an average copying speed of about 16Mbytes/s when a large
quantity of small-sized files are copied.
UDMA66 speed:
UDMA66 speed uses quick operating speed of the hard drive and, in order to speed
up, renews copying progress at an interval of 1 second.
When the function is started, it:
• will reach an average copying speed of 30~40Mbytes/s.
• cannot reach the maximum average speed when backing up CF memory card
of non-UDMA specification.
• cannot reach the maximum average speed when function of verifying hard
drive, verifying memory card or preview of copy is started.
• cannot reach the maximum average speed when battery electricity is small or
ambient temperature is low. It may lead to failure of copying in serious
situation. In this case, charge the battery or retry it by changing into “Hyper
Speed”.
