CLONING MODES AND SETTINGS
18 Logicube Omniclone Xi ™ User’s Manual
Master Manager™ Mode (Optional)
This is a special mode that assists in the creation of
Master drives. It lets the user choose exactly one
partition from the drive in the Master position
(referred to henceforth as the Source drive) and
clone it to the drive in the Target 1 position (referred
to henceforth as the Destination drive).
The Master Manager is a useful tool to aid in the
creation of a multi-partition Master drive. Many MIS
technicians like to store multiple partitions (e.g. one
for accounting, one for marketing, etc.) on a single
Master drive. When a drive crash occurs or a new
PC is to be configured, all the technician needs to
do is select that partition and clone it. The tool is
also useful to create backups of important
partitions.
The Omniclone Xi™ can hold up to 24 partitions on
one Master drive. Drives over 250GB in size have
been tested with Master Manager successfully.
Master Manager prompts the user to select exactly
one partition on the Source drive. It then prompts
the user to either select an existing partition on the
Destination drive to overwrite, or to add a new
partition in the remaining unallocated space.
WARNING: Please use this mode with care as the
Destination Drive (your multi-partition master
drive) is altered in the process.
