Explanations
Destination Blank
Clone
Warning
The TD2u checks select sectors on the
destination disk looking for non-blank
data patterns. If the destination disk is
not blank, an unintentional overwrite is
possible. This warning provides the
opportunity to abort the duplication.
Destination
Filesystem
Image
Warning
When performing Disk-to-File
duplication the TD2u requires each
destination disk to be formatted with the
FAT32 or exFAT file system.
If the destination disk is already
formatted for FAT32 or exFAT, the
TD2u uses this formatting without
overwriting any existing files.
If the destination disk does not have a
usable file system, the TD2u can format
one during duplication.
If the destination disk appears to be
blank, the TD2u formats it without any
warnings.
Destination
Block Size
Clone
Warning
When performing a Clone duplication,
differences in the block size between
the source and destination drive may
result in a clone drive not being
intelligible to other host systems. This is
because any existing source drive
partition tables and/or filesystems will
contain block-size-specific information
that will be inaccurate on a destination
drive with a different block size.

Warning
The TD2u checks if any of the
destinations appear to have been
encrypted in a way that TD2u can
unlock and prompts you to unlock them
if they are not already unlocked.
4.5 Wipe disk (Menu 2)
You may want to wipe the destination disk before use, especially when doing disk-to-disk
cloning. The TD2u provides three options to wipe a destination disk: a fast single-pass
wipe, a multi-pass wipe, or a Secure Erase. Follow the steps below to specify the type of
wipe operation to perform:
