Duplication Modes

3. DUPLICATION MODES

The Kanguru Mobile Clone can duplicate hard drives in one of three ways: BRIEF mode, RESIZE mode or FULL mode.

After duplication has been completed you can configure the duplicator to automatically compare the date on the Source drive with the data on the Target drives to ensure that the all data was copied successfully. For more information on configuring the Compare operation see chapter 4. Defining Copy and/or Compare on page 13.

3.1 Brief Mode

BRIEF mode copies only the sectors that contain data and skips any blank sectors (including information hidden in sub channels). This mode is the fastest copy mode; it 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 FULL mode.

3.2 Resize Mode

RESIZE mode is used to duplicate from a smaller Source drive to larger capacity Target drives. The Resize mode first runs a BRIEF copy and then expands the resulting partition on the Target drives so that the resulting partition uses all unallocated space. Resize copy supports the following file systems: FAT, FAT 32, NTFS. If the Source is not formatted as a supported file system then the duplicator will automatically switch to FULL mode.

3.3 Full Mode

FULL mode copies drives sector by sector from the Source to the Target(s), and supports all major OS formats (DOS/Windows/Mac/Linux). This mode is the slowest copy mode, but the safest.

Defining Copy and/or Compare

4. DEFINING COPY AND/OR COMPARE

Before performing a duplication, take a moment to define the SET COPY and SET COMPARE options under the SETUP menu. These options will tell the duplicator how the FULL and BRIEF modes will operate.

4.1 Set Copy Functionality

When SET COPY is enabled BRIEF, RESIZE and FULL modes will execute a Copy process. The SET COPY option is enabled by default.

To change the SET COPY option:

1. From the Main menu, hold the ‘SET’ button to enter the SETUP menu.

2. Tap the ‘SET’ button to navigate to the SET COPY option. It is marked with an asterisk by default, signifying that copy functionality is currently enabled.

3. Tap the ‘RUN’ button to toggle whether copy functionality is enabled or disabled.

SETUP >[ ] SET COPY

4.2 Set Compare Functionality

When SET COMPARE is enabled BRIEF and FULL modes will execute a Compare process, comparing the data between the Source and Target drives and confirming that they are identical. The SET COMPARE option is disabled by default.

To change the SET COMPARE option:

1. From the Main menu, hold the ‘SET’ button to enter the SETUP menu.

2. Tap the ‘SET’ button to navigate to the SET COMPARE option. It should not be marked by default, signifying that compare functionality is currently disabled.

3. Tap the ‘RUN’ button to toggle whether the option is enabled or disabled.

SETUP >[ ] SET COMPARE

Note: The Compare process cannot be run with RESIZE mode.

4.3 Set Copy & Compare Functionality

Both the SET COPY and SET COMPARE options can be enabled at the same time. When both options are enabled BRIEF and FULL modes will execute a Copy & Compare process, copying the data from the Source to the Target drives and then comparing the data on all drives to ensure that they are identical.

Duplication / Duplicating From a Master HDD

5. DUPLICATION

The KanguruClone HDD Duplicator can operate in either one of two duplication methods:

• With a Master HDD as the source

• With a Storage Center as the source

Both methods are described in the following sections.

5.1 Duplicating From a Master HDD

Using a Master HDD as the Source is the simplest and most convenient way to perform the duplication process.

IMPORTANT! Connect your Master HDD on the side labeled “SOURCE”. Connect the Target hard drives on the side labeled “TARGET”. Connect all drives before you execute an operation.

To execute the duplication of a Master HDD:

1. From the Main menu, tap the ‘SET’ button to navigate to the desired copy mode. For more information on the different available copy modes see chapter 3. Duplication Modes on page

12.

The screen will display the following:

[BRIEF ] COPY

2. Once you have selected the copy mode, tap the ‘RUN’ button to execute it. The duplication process begins as the system initializes the connected disks.

[BRIEF ] COPY POWER ON...

3. Once all connected disks have been detected and initialized, the duplication process begins. During duplication the screen will display the following information:

[BRIEF ] COPY

30.44%

WARNING! Do not remove any drives while duplication is in progress. Wait for duplication to finish before removing a drive. If you wish to interrupt the current process, tap the ‘RUN’ or ‘SET’ button at any time.

4. Once the copy process is completed the screen will either provide you with a “Success” message or, if for any reason a drive was not duplicated successfully, an error message. Tap the ‘SET’ button to view the total duplication time.

Duplicating From a Storage Center

5.2 Duplicating From a Storage Center

The Kanguru Mobile Clone hard drive duplicator allows you to turn a standard hard drive into a Storage Center. You can load images of your Master HDDs directly to the Storage Center providing you with a convenient way to store common duplication jobs.

5.2.1 Formatting a hard drive as a Storage Center

First you need to format a hard drive as a Storage Center:

1. From the Main menu, hold the ‘SET’ button to enter the SETUP menu.

2. From the SETUP menu, tap the ‘SET’ button to navigate to the FORMAT SOURCE operation.

3. Connect the hard drive that you want to use as a Storage Center to the side of the duplicator labeled “SOURCE”.

4. Tap the ‘RUN’ button to execute the FORMAT SOURCE. Caution! Formatting will erase any data currently stored on the hard drive.

5. A confirmation screen appears. Tap the ‘RUN’ button to proceed with formatting the hard drive as a Storage Center or tap the ‘SET’ button to cancel.

Once the format has completed, tap any button to return to the SETUP menu. Your hard drive has now been formatted as a Storage Center. You can now load images of Master HDD’s to the Storage Center for convenient duplication.

Note: A hard drive formatted as a Storage Center will not be recognized when connected directly to a computer. The Storage Center uses a proprietary format not recognized by most operating systems.

5.2.2 Loading a Master HDD image to the Storage Center

Once you have formatted a hard drive as a Storage Center, you can load images of your Master HDDs to the Storage Center. To load a Master HDD image to the Storage Center:

1. Make sure your Storage Center is connected to the side labeled “SOURCE” and that the Master HDD is connected to the side labeled “TARGET”.

2. From the Main menu, tap the ‘SET’ button to navigate to LOAD. You will see the following screen:

[LOAD ] 000

9. Once the copy process is completed the screen will either provide you with a “Success” message or, if for any reason a drive was not duplicated successfully, an error message. Tap the ‘SET’ button to view the total duplication time.

Other Operations / Erase

6. OTHER OPERATIONS

Besides the Copy and Compare modes, the Kanguru Mobile Clone Duplicator has several additional operations that are incredibly useful, including: ERASE, WIPE, VERIFY and LOAD.

6.1 Erase

ERASE deletes all information on any hard drive connected to the side of the duplicator labaled “TARGET”. Data is erased by writing zeros into each sector on the hard drive.

CAUTION! The Erase operation will delete all data and file systems on any attached Target hard drives. Make sure that you back up any important data before executing the Erase operation. Only hard drives connected to “TARGET” will be erased. Any hard drives connected to the side of the duplicator labaled “SOURCE” will not be affected by the Erase operation.

To Erase a hard drive:

1. From the Main menu, tap the ‘SET’ button to navigate to ERASE.

[ERASE ]

2. Connect your hard drive to the side of duplicator labeled “TARGET”. Tap the ‘RUN’ button to begin the Erase process. The following screen will be displayed:

3. Once the Erase process has completed, the following screen will be displayed:

[ERASE ] 100% SUCCESS

Tap the ‘SET’ button to view the total erase time.

Wipe

6.2 Wipe

Although the data is removed through the Erase operation, the data may still be retrievable with the right tools. The WIPE feature allows you to perform a disk wipe operation, ensuring that the hard drive is completely erased and that the data is unrecoverable.

Unlike an Erase, which writes zeros to every sector on the hard drive, a Wipe is a four step process that ensures that data is unrecoverable. The four steps are as follows:

1. All sectors on the hard drive(s) are written to with 0’s.

2. All sectors on the hard drive(s) are written to with 1’s.

3. All sectors on the hard drive(s) are written to with a random pattern of 0’s and 1’s.

4. All sectors on the hard drive(s) are verified

CAUTION! The Wipe operation will permanently delete all data and file systems on a hard drive. Make sure that you back up any important data before executing the Wipe operation. Only hard drives connected to the side of duplicator labeled “TARGET” will be erased. Any hard drives connected to the side of the duplicator labaled “SOURCE” will not be affected by the Wipe operation.

To Wipe a hard drive:

1. From the Main menu, tap the ‘SET’ button to navigate to WIPE.

[WIPE ]

2. Connect your hard drive to the side of duplicator labeled “TARGET”. Tap the ‘RUN’ button to begin the Wipe process. The following screen will be displayed:

[WIPE ]WRT0

1.15%

The following will be displayed next to “[WIPE ]” to indicate which step the Wipe feature is at:

○ WRT0 - Writing 0’s to all sectors ○ WRT1 - Writing 1’s to all sectors ○ WRTR - Writing a random pattern of 0’s and 1’s to all sectors ○ RVEY - Read Verifing all sectors

3. Once the Wipe process has completed, the following screen will be displayed:

[WIPE ] 100% SUCCESS

Tap the ‘SET’ button to view the total Wipe time.

Verify

6.3 Verify

VERIFY will check that all sectors are readable on the drive connected to the side of the duplicator labaled “TARGET”. If a hard drive fails duplication, you should run the Verify feature to ensure that the drive is healthy.

To verify your hard drives for duplication:

1. From the Main menu, tap the ‘SET’ button to navigate to VERIFY.

[VERIFY ]

2. Connect your hard drive to the side labled “TARGET”. Tap the ‘RUN’ button to begin the Verify process. The following screen will be displayed during verification:

[VERIFY ]

1.08%

Percentage Completed

3. Once the verification process has completed, the following screen will be displayed:

[VERIFY ]

100.00% SUCCESS

Tap the ‘SET’ button to view the total Verify time.

Load

6.4 Load

LOAD allows you to store an image of a hard drive to a Storage Center.

A Storage Center is a hard drive that has been formatted to store hard drive images. The Storage Center allows you to quickly and conveniently access common duplication projects. For information on formatting a hard drive as a Storage Center see section 7.6 Format Source on page 24.

To load an image of a hard drive to a Storage Center:
