4.10.3 Delete All Logs (Menu 6.3)
If you want to delete the logs stored in the TD2u internal flash memory, select the
Delete
All Logs
option. It is not possible to recover the logs after the
Delete All Logs
procedure is finished.
4.10.4 Print All Logs (Menu 6.4)
You can print all logs to a USB printer attached to one of the TD2u USB ports. After
connecting a USB printer to one of the TD2u USB ports, select the
Print All Logs
option
to print the logs.
The TD2u is compatible with USB printers which support the USB Printer Class
Specification. The USB printer must support raw ASCII printing.
4.11 Resetting and clearing internally stored
information
Some forensic and security applications require that the user be aware of the kinds of
information that the duplicator can store. In some cases, you may want to know what, if
any, information is preserved by the unit from one acquisition to the next. Or you might be
in security-sensitive environments and need to be able to sanitize equipment before it is
removed.
The TD2u has three separate non-volatile memories, as described below.
The first non-volatile memory is a flash device which is used to store the firmware and
serial number of the TD2u. The firmware can be updated using the Tableau Firmware
Update utility (available from
). This flash device is never used to
record any user-specific or acquisition-specific information.
The second non-volatile memory is a separate flash device used to store two different
types of information: configuration settings and logs. Configuration settings include the
following:
•
User/operator name (entered via Configuration Wizard or Setup Menu).
•
Startup mode of operation (entered via Configuration Wizard or Setup Menu).
•
Error handling settings (error recovery strategy and error counter limits).
•
Default directory naming conventions for disk-to-file duplication (directory name
format).
•
Default file naming conventions for disk-to-file duplication (file name format).
•
Default file format conventions (segment size, etc.).
•
Last-used case ID and case notes.
•
User preferences for prompts (directory name, file name, case information).
This second flash also records up to the most recent tasks performed by the duplicator. A
task in this context is any operation which operates on a disk device, including
duplication, formatting, wiping, hashing, blank checking, and HPA/DCO/AMA operations.
