8.4 Advance Brief Mode
The Brief copy mode is usually the fastest duplication method available. However Brief mode only
supports a handful of file systems. The ADV. BRIEF MODE operation allows you to execute a Brief
copy of unsupported file systems.
The Advance Brief copy mode requires a hard drive formatted as a Storage Center. For information
on formatting a hard drive as a Storage Center, see section 8.20 Format Source on page 36.
To use the Advance Brief Copy:
1. From the ADVANCED SETUP menu,
tap
the ‘SET’ button to navigate to the ADV. BRIEF
MODE function.
2. Enable the Advance Brief mode by
tapping
the ‘RUN’ button.
3.
Hold
the ‘SET’ button to return to the Setup menu.
4.
Hold
the ‘SET’ button to return to the Main menu.
5. Prepare a hard drive by connecting it to any Target port and then executing an Erase operation
(see section 6.2 Erase / Wipe on page 22). Use this newly erased hard drive to create your
Master hard drive.
6.
Tap
the ‘SET’ button to navigate to the LOAD operation.
7. Connect the Storage Center to the Source port.
8. Connect the Master hard drive to any Target port.
9.
Tap
the ‘RUN’ button to execute the Load operation. The duplicator will ask you to input the
name of the image file you want to create.
a) The file name consists of three digits. The digit furthest to the right will be blinking, indicating
that it is currently selected.
Tap
the ‘RUN’ button to increase the digit by one.
b)
Tap
the ‘SET’ button to select the next digit to the left.
Tap
the ‘RUN’ button to increase the
digit by one. Repeat this step as necessary.
10. When you have completed entering the name of the image file,
hold
the ‘RUN’ button to start
the Load process. This will build a data map of the Master hard drive image onto the Storage
Center.
A data map image of the Master hard drive has now been saved to the Storage Center. You can now
execute a Brief copy of this image file, regardless of the file system.
