3.3 Resize

RESIZE mode is used to copy between Source and Target drives of different capacities. The

Resize mode allows for copying from a smaller capacity Source to larger capacity Target

drives. Resize copy supports the following file systems: FAT, FAT32, NTFS. If the Source is

not formatted as a supported file system then the duplicator will automatically switch to FULL

mode. When duplicating in Resize mode, Target drives should all be the same capacity.

Note: When using Resize Copy to duplicate a drive with multiple partitions, each partition will

be expanded equally in porportion to the remaining unallocated space. If you want to resize

only the last partition on the drtive, you will need to enable Advanced Resize (see section 8.6

3.4 Full

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.

3.5 Ratio

The Ratio Copy operation allows you to copy a defined percentage of the Master hard drive. The

Master hard drive is divided in 1000 units. You must define the beginning and ending percentages

before using this operation. To define the percentages you have to enter the Advanced Setup menu,

and configure the SET RAT. HEAD and SET RAT. TAIL options. For more information on defining
