If data on a P2 card that contains a defective clip must be written to a hard disk drive, then we recommend restoring that clip before copying the data.
When the process is discontinued during verification, the data on the P2 card has been written to the hard disk drive.
For a TYPE S or P2 STORE hard disk drive, you can write data back to a P2 card with the same model number on a card basis.
The target P2 cards must be preformatted.
