15. Making A Secondary Copy (Sync)

Move to “SYNC” on the main menu and

select it.

Connect the eSATAp/USB external hard

drive to the [eSATA-Host/USB-Host] combo

port of the NVSPRO+ as shown in chapter

13.

(3) Sync function

Duplicates new folder to external hard drive

Before duplication, the NVSPRO+ verifies that the copy area of the

external hard drive is safe. If the copy area is not safe, the NVSPRO+

will automatically search for a new safe area and copy to that area.

Safe Copy

The NVSPRO+ compares the [NVSPRO] folder

of the internal hard drive and the [NEXTO]

folder of the external hard drive. If there is

data in the [NVSPRO] but not in the [NEXTO]

folder, then the NVSPRO+ copies those folders

from the internal hard drive to the [NEXTO]

folder of the external hard drive. The end

result is that the two folders—on both the

NVSPRO+ and the external hard drive—contain

the same information

If an error occurs during the “Sync” function,

the NVSPRO+ will automatically shut down

and display an error message at the next

power up-- as shown in the figure. Press the

control key upwards to go back to the main

menu.

The “Sync” function synchronizes data between the [NVSPRO] folder of the

NVSPRO+ and the [NEXTO] folder of an external eSATAp/USB hard drive connected

on the “eSATA/USB Host” connector via eSATAp or USB cable. This function

compares the folders stored in the [NVSPRO] folder of the NVSPRO+ and the

[NEXTO] folder of an external hard drive. A new folder will be copied to the

external hard drive only if a folder is in the [NVSPRO] folder of the NVSPRO+—

but not in [NEXTO] folder of an external hard drive.
