15. Making A Secondary Copy (Sync)

select it.
Connect the eSATAp/USB external hard
drive to the [eSATA-Host/USB-Host] combo
port of the NVSPRO+ as shown in chapter

Duplicates new folder to external hard drive
Before duplication, the NVSPRO+ verifies that the copy area of the
external hard drive is safe. If the copy area is not safe, the NVSPRO+
will automatically search for a new safe area and copy to that area.

The NVSPRO+ compares the [NVSPRO] folder
of the internal hard drive and the [NEXTO]
folder of the external hard drive. If there is
data in the [NVSPRO] but not in the [NEXTO]
folder, then the NVSPRO+ copies those folders
from the internal hard drive to the [NEXTO]
folder of the external hard drive. The end
result is that the two folders—on both the
NVSPRO+ and the external hard drive—contain
the same information
If an error occurs during the “Sync” function,
the NVSPRO+ will automatically shut down
and display an error message at the next
power up-- as shown in the figure. Press the
control key upwards to go back to the main
menu.
The “Sync” function synchronizes data between the [NVSPRO] folder of the
NVSPRO+ and the [NEXTO] folder of an external eSATAp/USB hard drive connected
on the “eSATA/USB Host” connector via eSATAp or USB cable. This function
compares the folders stored in the [NVSPRO] folder of the NVSPRO+ and the
[NEXTO] folder of an external hard drive. A new folder will be copied to the
external hard drive only if a folder is in the [NVSPRO] folder of the NVSPRO+—
but not in [NEXTO] folder of an external hard drive.
