Cloning Disks

The Disk Cloning Settings

Cloning settings

The disk cloning tool lets you change the project name and color. Also, you can activate scheduled cloning and set up its frequency.

The Show warning dialog when starting cloning option lets you skip displaying the warning message before starting cloning. The message states that the content of the destination volume will be removed. Select this check box to run scheduled cloning with no need of the user's attention.

The Network/USB source and destination automount option allows the program to mount a network or USB storage that is currently connected but not mounted. Once the option is activated, the program will be able to mount the network storage or USB device and run the scheduled task, unmount, and then mount it again for the next cycle.

Using the When source and destination are mounted option, you can allow the program to start cloning automatically when the source and destination disks become available.

In order to have a scheduled project running fully automatically, it is recommended that you save your system password to the Keychain. This can be done by using the Save admin access information in Keychain option in the Preferences dialog.
