MAC Software Includes: ShirtPocket SuperDuper! and Synchronize! X for Mac.

Synchronize! X for Mac is a file synchronization and backup utility for personal data on Mac OS X. Synchronize! X will backup your personal data to another disk, so that it is safe. It can sync your home folder with a file server, or your PowerBook, or a FireWire disk, so that the newest files are in both locations.

SuperDuper! is the wildly acclaimed program that makes recovery painless, because it makes creating a fully bootable backup painless. Its incredibly clear, friendly interface is understandable, easy to use. And it runs beautifully on both Intel and Power PC Macs! SuperDuper’s interface confirms all your actions in simple, clear language to ensure that the end result is exactly what you intended.

8.What is the difference between “cloning” and “imaging”?

Disk Cloning is a bit for bit copy of one drive to another. In doing so, a Clone can boot and run the operating system. The data is exactly the same on both drives.

Disk Imaging copies the data on the drive and stores it as a file. This file can be compressed to a smaller size to take up less space. The Image is not bootable.

9.Can I make a clone of my drive and put it in a different machine?

A clone is for disaster recovery purposes (i.e. when your drive fails and you need to get back up and running). No, you should not make a clone of your drive and put it in another or multiple machines. There are licensing issues for the software on your machine.

10.Is it possible to restore a single file from an image stored on my EZ

Bus DTS?

Yes. EZ Gig II allows you to mount an image as a “virtual” hard drive. You can access this “virtual” drive as if it were a physical hard drive. You would use your Windows Explorer or My Computer and copy the file or folder and paste it on to your hard drive.
