1. Introduction to the Logicube Omniclone Xi™
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Logicube Omniclone Xi™. You are now the proud owner of a
The Logicube Omniclone Xi™ copies the contents of one hard disk drive to one or more others1. The first drive is typically called the Master, while the subsequent drives are called Targets. It performs the copy at speeds that are typically 16 to 32 times faster than they would be on a PC. The Omniclone Xi™ first analyzes the partitions on the Master, then acts according to a user set mode. Depending on the mode, the unit will adjust structures to ensure the validity of the Targets. This process is called disk cloning.
This manual covers the following Logicube products: OCX2i™, OCX5i™ and OCXi™. The OCX2i™ can clone two target drives, the OCX5i™ can clone 5 target drives and the OCXi™ can clone ten target drives simultaneously.
What Are Partitions?
Partitions are areas on the drive that define a storage unit. Each partition is represented by a drive letter at the operating system level (e.g. C:, D:,...). For that reason, partitions are commonly called logical drives, or volumes. A partition is also associated with a file system, or a structure for laying out files on the partition. We will use these four words interchangeably throughout this manual.
1The Logicube Omniclone Xi is available in 2, 5 and 10 Target drive configurations.
