Large to small
If the source is bigger than the target, EZ Gig III copies only the data
which also ts onto the target. This data is copied from the beginning
of the source to the beginning of the target medium.The data which is
larger than the target is not copied and is missing on the target. Generally,
such a copy can only restrictedly be used because possibly necessary
data can be missing. However, if you make sure before copying (e.g. by
defragmentation) that all valid or necessary data is in the front part of the
source medium and that this area is not larger than the target medium, a
copy onto a smaller target medium can also be successfully used.
Automatic troubleshooting
In case of occurring errors, EZ Gig III tries to troubleshoot them the
best possible. If this is not possible, the errors will be mentioned in a
corresponding error statistic in the detailed report after the clone is
complete.
Intensive reading/writing
In case of read or write errors, EZ Gig III uses different strategies in
order to still be able to read or write this data, if possible. The time used
for defective areas depends to a large extent on the respective medium.
According to the medium and its state, several seconds up to minutes can
be needed for the recovery trials. Therefore, it is recommended to always
activate the option SafeRescue because then handling defective sectors
takes place after the copying of all intact areas has been nished. The
process can then be aborted if it takes too long without losing the data of
the intact areas.
Read errors
During the copying process, read errors can only occur on the source
medium. EZ Gig III then tries to read the defective areas immediately after
the termination of the copying process (with the option SafeRescue) with
the help of special data recovery strategies within a single troubleshooting
run. During the troubleshooting run, the number of the indicated read errors
can reduce according to the areas on the source medium, which could be
recovered.
NOTE: Read errors, that occur during the verication run, are not counted
as read errors but as verication errors.
Write errors
Write errors can only occur during the copying process and only on
the target medium. EZ Gig III then tries to read the defective areas
immediately after the termination of the copying process (with the option
