When you execute a Smart copy operation, the system will check the capacity between the Source
and all connected Target drives. If the capacity of any of the Target drives exceeds the capacity of the
Source drive by the tolerance percentage defined by the NEED RESIZE option, then the duplicator
will automatically execute a Resize copy. Tap the ‘RUN’ button to change this option.
For example:
• [ 0%] : All targets must be the same capacity. If the capacity between the Source and Targets is
different than the system will execute a Resize copy.
• [10%] : If the capacity between the Source and Targets is between 0% and 10% then the system
will execute a Brief copy. If the capacity of the Targets is larger than the capacity of the Master
by more than 10% then the system will execute a Resize copy.
The default value is: 3%
