3. DUPLICATION MODES
The Kanguru Mobile Clone can duplicate hard drives in one of three ways: BRIEF mode, RESIZE
mode or FULL mode.
After duplication has been completed you can configure the duplicator to automatically compare
the date on the Source drive with the data on the Target drives to ensure that the all data was copied
successfully. For more information on configuring the Compare operation see chapter 4. Defining
Copy and/or Compare on page 13.
3.1 Brief Mode
BRIEF mode copies only the sectors that contain data and skips any blank sectors (including
information hidden in sub channels). This mode is the fastest copy mode; it supports the
following file systems: FAT, FAT32, exFAT NTFS, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, HFS, HFS+, JFS,
XFS.
Note:
If the Source is not formatted as a supported file system then the duplicator will
automatically switch to FULL mode.
3.2 Resize Mode
RESIZE mode is used to duplicate from a smaller Source drive to larger capacity Target drives.
The Resize mode first runs a BRIEF copy and then expands the resulting partition on the
Target drives so that the resulting partition uses all unallocated space. Resize copy supports the
following file systems: FAT, FAT 32, NTFS. If the Source is not formatted as a supported file
system then the duplicator will automatically switch to FULL mode.
3.3 Full Mode
FULL mode copies drives sector by sector from the Source to the Target(s), and supports all
major OS formats (DOS/Windows/Mac/Linux). This mode is the slowest copy mode, but the
safest.
