destination drive. There is no guarantee that the data will be compressed enough to
fit on a smaller destination drive, especially in cases where the data is mostly
incompressible such as encrypted data.
Note: Be careful when attempting to copy a source drive to a same size or
smaller destination drive. Image file formatting adds overhead and, when
coupled with incompressible data (such as encrypted data), a larger destination
drive may be needed.
4.9.3 Performing a duplication
To perform a duplication:
1. Follow the steps listed in “Connecting drives” on page 27 to connect the source
drive and destination drive(s).
2. Ensure that all destination drives are formatted according to the type of
duplication job output desired for each drive. Destinations that have filesystems
will automatically receive an image file type output according to the ‘Duplicate’
File Type system setting (Ex01, E01, DD, or DMG). Destinations that have no
detectable filesystems will automatically receive a clone of the source drive.
Note: When no filesystems are detected on a destination drive, that drive
will automatically receive a clone of the source drive. In this case, a
message will appear in the Duplicate function tile before job start and a
small icon will appear there and on the home screen drive tile to
indicate that the drive will be a clone. That icon will also be present on the
destination drive tile within the job status screen.
3. Expand the Duplicate function tile on the home screen. A summary of the main
job settings will be shown along with any pertinent warning messages, as can be
seen in the screenshot below. Verify the settings, resolve any blocking warnings,
and then tap the Start button. If none of the settings are set to prompt and there
are no other job configuration issues that need to be resolved, the job will start,
and the job status screen will be displayed.
