Windows P2V Conversions 103
Conversion Tutorial
• File: File cloning of a source occurs on the file system level. The target is
mounted to the source and a full file synchronization occurs-directory
structure from the source and all file content are updated to the target. File
cloning is ideal for capturing large source volumes to a target with limited
storage capacity. To ensure consistency during hot cloning, use the file method
with MS VSS.
Step 4: Select Source Server
1 In the Network Browser pane, select the server to convert. Right-click the server,
and select Set as source.
2 In the Source Drives section, select the volumes to convert. Configure Resize
and Target Folder values as needed.
Step 5: Advanced Task Properties
You may access the Advanced Task Properties by clicking Advanced on the Task
Properties pane. The Advanced Task Properties dialog contains many of the same
options as the Task Properties tab.
For more information, see “Advanced Properties” on page 95.
Step 6: Schedule and Save
1 Click the Scheduler tab to set a schedule for this task.
2 Once scheduled, click the Save icon to save the task.
