“Create short image” for this option.
Choose „Calculate and store MD5 checksum“ if you want the PowerSoftware to calculate a
checksum and store it in the information file (*.ii). This feature is not available and the checkbox
setting will be ignored if you save the image in *.img or *.short format. When the copy job is run,
the checksum allows the Power Software to check whether the image has been modified since it
was created (e.g. to a hard disk defect or unauthorized manipulation).
3.3.2 Write image
Choose „Write Image to single medium“ in the “Operations” menu to copy a saved image to a
single medium. Choose the device ID of the CopyStation, the medium slot with the destination
medium and the image file name and click “OK”.
3.3.3 Verify image
Choose „Verify single medium with file“ in the “Operations” menu to compare the data on a single

medium and the image file name and click “OK”.
3.3.4 Map slot
Choose “Map medium” in the “Operations”menu to map the chosen medium as a logical drive letter

or directories to the medium.
