7.2 Introduction toMainFunctions
7.2.1 FASTCOPY
Theduplicatorwillanalyzethemasterdiskdataandonlycopythevaliddataarea,not theunusedarea.For
example, a500GBsystemdisk,theactualdataisonly100 GBofused space.Inthismode,only100 GBof
valid dataiscopied.
Note:This copymodeis applicabletothecapacityofthetargetdisknotlessthantheeffectivedataareaof
themasterdisk,andthecopieddataofthe target disk iscompletelyconsistentwith theeffectivedataareaofthe
master disk.Theeffectivedataareaofthemasterdiskisnot equaltothecapacityofthe effective data,because
thedatastoragelocationswillnotbecompletelycontinuous. The datavalid areainthemasterdisk representsthe
lastpositionofvaliddata.
Theharddiskshownin thefigureabove hasatotalof100 GB,and red arearepresents validdata.The
effectivedata capacityis50 GB and theeffectivedataareais 70 GB.Therefore,thecapacityofthe target disk
mustbegreaterthan70 GB.
FastCopyProcess:

7.2.2 FULLCOPY
In thismode,the duplicatordoes not perform dataanalysisonthedata ofthemasterdisk, andcompletely
copiesalldata areasof theentiremasterdisk,includingused andunused space.
Note:This copymodeis applicabletothecasewherethephysicalcapacityofthe targetdiskisnotlessthan

7.2.5 COMPARE
Youcanusethis functionwhenyouneed to checkthe dataofthemasterdiskand the targetdisk. Three
datacomparisonmethodsareavailable for userto choose: 1. Fast Compare;2.FullCompare; 3.Percent
Compare. User can choose the corresponding comparison mode accordingto different needs. If you need to
automaticallycompare thedata after copyingis complete, select"Yes"or "No"in "CMP AfterCopy"underthe
"Setting" sub-menu to enable or disable the comparisonfunction.
DataComparison:

※Operation procedure:

15
A. Onthemainmenu, use the ▲ and ▼ keys to select "Compare" function andpressthe ENTkey. Then
use the ▲ and ▼ keys to selectthe correspondingcomparison from"Fast Compare", "Full Compare",and
"Percent Compare"asrequired.
B.Press Start button (OK button)to start comparison.
7.2.5.1 FASTCOMPARE
In this mode,the duplicatorwill automaticallyanalyzethedata ofthemasterdisk, and onlycomparethe
valid dataareas, nottheunusedareas.Forexample,a500GBsystem disk,theactualdataisonly100 GBof
usedspace. In thismode, only100 GBvaliddatais compared. ThemethodissimilartoFast Copy.
7.2.5.2 FULLCOMPARE
In this mode,the duplicatordoesnotneedto analyzethemasterdisk data,anditwillcompare all the
regional data ofthe entiremasterdisk againstthetargetdisks.
7.2.5.3 PERCENTCOMPARE
In thismode,the duplicatordoes not need to analyzethemasterdisk data. Beforeusingthis mode, you
needtoknowthepositionand distributionof themasterdiskdata,orsimplywant tocompareaspecificarea.
Note:BeforePercent Compare, youneedtoset the percentageofdatatobecompared in advance.The
