133. DUPLICATION MODESThe KanguruClone can clone hard drives in one of five ways: SMART mode, BRIEF mode, RESIZEmode, FULL mode and RATIO mode.After duplication has been completed you can configure the duplicator to automatically comparethe date on the Source drive with the data on the Target drives to ensure that the all data was copiedsuccessfully. For more information on configuring the Compare operation see chapter 4. DefiningCopy and/or Compare on page 15.3.1 SmartSMART mode checks the Source and Target drives and determines which copy mode is themost efficient and automatically operates in that mode.○ First it will try to detect the Source drive’s file system. If it does not recognize the file systemthen it will copy in FULL mode. The Duplicator supports the following file systems: FAT,FAT32, exFAT, NTFS, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, XFS, RFS, HFS, HFS+○ If it is able to recognize the file system of the Source, it will compare the capacity betweenthe Source and the Target.○ If the Source is formatted in a Windows file system and its capacity is smaller thanthe Target then the duplicator will copy in RESIZE mode. The system will determinewhether it needs to execute in Resize mode based on the NEED RESIZE option under theADVANCED SETUP menu (see section 8.19 Need Resize on page 36).○ If the Source’s capacity is equal to the Target, then it will copy in BRIEF mode.○ If the Target drives are of mixed capacities, it will determine a suitable copy mode basedon the capacity of the smallest Target drive.○ If the Target drives are of mixed capacities and the difference between drives exceeds theMOST VAR. CAP parameter, then the higher capacity drives that exceed the MOST VAR.CAP parameter will be excluded from the duplication. The MOST VAR. CAP parametercan be configured under the ADVANCED SETUP menu (see section 8.18 Most VariedCapacity on page 35).3.2 BriefBRIEF mode copies only the sectors that contain data and skips any blank sectors (includinginformation hidden in sub channels). This mode 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 willautomatically switch to FULL mode. If you want to copy an unsupported file system in BRIEFmode, you will need to enable ADV. BRIEF MODE (see section 8.4 Advance Brief Mode onpage 31).Duplication Modes
