CLONING MODES AND SETTINGS

Master Manager™ Mode (Optional)

This is a special mode that assists in the creation of Master drives. It lets the user choose exactly one partition from the drive in the Master position (referred to henceforth as the Source drive) and clone it to the drive in the Target 1 position (referred to henceforth as the Destination drive).

The Master Manager is a useful tool to aid in the creation of a multi-partition Master drive. Many MIS technicians like to store multiple partitions (e.g. one for accounting, one for marketing, etc.) on a single Master drive. When a drive crash occurs or a new PC is to be configured, all the technician needs to do is select that partition and clone it. The tool is also useful to create backups of important partitions.

The Omniclone Xi™ can hold up to 24 partitions on one Master drive. Drives over 250GB in size have been tested with Master Manager successfully.

Master Manager prompts the user to select exactly one partition on the Source drive. It then prompts the user to either select an existing partition on the Destination drive to overwrite, or to add a new partition in the remaining unallocated space.

WARNING: Please use this mode with care as the Destination Drive (your multi-partition master drive) is altered in the process.
