Large to small

If the source is bigger than the target, EZ Gig will direct you to the Data

Select feature. EZ Gig’s Data Select provides a simple method to deselect

data folders from the cloning process. EZ Gig will only allow to proceed

with the clone, once the available capacity on the target drive is a positive

value.

Automatic troubleshooting

In case of occurring errors, EZ Gig 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 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 finished. 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 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 verification run, are not counted

as read errors but as verification errors.

Write errors

Write errors can only occur during the copying process and only on the

target medium. EZ Gig 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 proper

troubleshooting run. During the troubleshooting run, the number of the

indicated write errors can decrease according to the areas on the target

medium, which could be recovered.

Verification errors

When the option Verifying is activated, EZ Gig executes a verification run

after the copying process. A verification error is counted if the data of two

sectors on source and target do not correspond. Furthermore, read errors,

which occur during the verification run in one or both of the areas to be

compared, are also counted as verification errors. Therefore, the number

of verification errors gives you absolute information on how exactly source

and target correspond to each other after the copying process. In case of

an error-free copying process, EZ Gig should not report any verification

errors and signalize a 100% conformity of source and target.
