Duplication Modes

2.2 Duplication Modes
The Kanguru Clone can duplicate hard drives in any one of three modes: BRIEF mode, RESIZE
mode and DISK mode.
Note: After duplication has been completed you can configure the duplicator to automatically compare
the data on the Master drive with the data on the Target drives to ensure that the all information was
copied. For more information on configuring the Compare operation see chapter 2.3 Defining Copy
and/or Compare Functionality on page 14.
CaUTIoN! Disks may be hot when removing them from the hard drive duplicator. It is recommended
that you wait a minute before removing drives post duplication.

2.2.1 brief

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.
Note: If the Master drive is not formatted in a supported file system then the duplicator will
automatically switch to DISK mode.

2.2.2 resize

RESIZE mode is used to create duplications of a Master drive that is smaller in capacity than the Target
drives. The Resize mode only allows for copying from a smaller capacity Master to larger capacity
Target drives. Target drives must all be the same capacity. Resize mode supports the following file
systems: FAT, FAT32, NTFS.
Note: If the Master drive is not formatted in a supported file system, then the duplicator will
automatically switch to DISK mode.

2.2.3 Disk

DISK mode copies data from the Master drive to the Target drives sector by sector and supports all
file systems. This mode is the slowest but most effective duplication method because it supports
almost every file system and operating system.
