4.3.2 Image destinations
When performing imaging, the TD2u creates files on the destination hard disk that
contain the data copied from the source hard disk.
Note:
For Image destinations, the TD2u performs any necessary destination disk
formatting automatically. If a destination disk already has an acceptable format and
sufficient free space to store the image, the TD2u uses that format. If a destination disk is
not formatted the TD2u prompts you for confirmation to format the disk. This reduces the
risk of overwriting valuable data.
Files are written to the destination disk according to the following convention:
(root dir)/
TD2_IMG/
[directory name]/
[filename].E01
[filename].E02
...
[filename].E99
YYYY-mm-dd hh-mm-ss nnnnn TTT.LOG
[directory name]
is the name generated by the TD2u for each separate acquisition.
If an acquisition spans multiple destination disks, the same
[directory name]
is used
on each destination disk. This makes it easy to group image files related to a particular
acquisition.
The
[directory name]
can be auto-generated by the TD2u or you can enter it
yourself. Auto-generated names can be based on the date/time, the serial number of the
source device, or the model and serial number of the source device. The auto-generated
[filename]
is IMAGE, although you may choose to override this value. For a complete
list of the options you can use to control the auto-generation and user prompting for
directory and filenames, see “Imaging Setup (Menu 7.2)”Preface on page 13.
For Raw/DD
[filename].001
is the first file, or portion of the data copied from the
source disk. The file size is a user-settable option and may also be specified under the
Setup > Imaging Setup
menu.
When creating a DD image, you can also specify .DMG naming for files. .DMG refers to a
file naming convention used by Apple operating systems. If the .DMG naming option is
selected, the first file is named IMAGE.DMG instead of IMAGE.001. All other files have
standard filenames (for example, IMAGE.002, IMAGE.003, and so on).
