Duplicate (Menu 1)

The TD2u duplicates hard disks by either cloning or imaging them. Cloning, also known as disk-
to-disk duplication, is the process of copying a source disk, sector by sector, to a destination
disk. Source disk sector one is copied to destination disk sector one, then sector two is copied
to sector two, sector three to sector three, and so on. Imaging, also known as disk-to-file
duplication, is the process of copying a source disk to a series of files on destination disks.
Note: Starting with TD2u firmware version 1.3, the selection of clone or image for a
specific destination drive is no longer done through distinct sub-menus. Selecting the
Duplicate item will launch a Duplicate job setup page that allows for in-line selection
of clone or image for all connected destination drives. This allows each destination to
be selected as clone or image independently from other destinations.

Initiating a Duplication Job (Menu 1)

tings menu containing the Duplication/Imaging Setup settings.
