The Leader in Personal Storage32
SMART-ER
By polling the S.M.A.R.T. data from a hard drive, SMART-ER gives the user
advanced warning of a hard drive failure with a pop up message or e-mail to
the IT administrator.
7. 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 le. This le
can be compressed to a smaller size to take up less space. The Image is not
bootable.
8. 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.
9. Is it possible to restore a single le 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 le or folder and
paste it on to your hard drive.
10. Why am I unable to save a le larger then 4GB on to my EZ Bus
DTS?
Fat 32 has a le size limitation of 4GB. If you are using Windows 98 SE or ME,
FAT32 is the only option you have available. If you are using Windows 2000
or XP, you can reformat the drive to NTFS. By reformatting the drive to NTFS,
you eliminate the 4GB limitation, but you will also lose any data stored on the
drive. Either reformat to NTFS before using it for the rst time, or backup the
data before reformatting.
