Transferring system to a new disk

On disk layouts, displayed by the program, damaged partitions are marked with a red circle
with a white cross inside in the upper left corner. Before you start cloning you should check
such disks for errors using corresponding OS tools.
8.2 Security
Note the following: if the power goes out or you accidentally press
RESET
during
the transfer, the procedure will be incomplete and you will have to partition and
format or clone the hard disk again.
No data will be lost because the original disk is only being read (no partitions are
changed or resized) until data transfer is completed.
Nevertheless, we don’t recommend you to delete data from the old disk until you
are sure it is correctly transferred to the new disk, server boots up from it, and all
applications work.
8.3 Executing
transfers

We recommend using automatic mode as suitable for most cases. The manual
mode can be helpful, if you need to change disk partition layout.
