Disk-to-disk copying is mostly used to create a duplicate of the
physical device. Make sure that target is of the same size or larger
than a source. If this not the case, a subtle data corruption may occur.
Zlon keeps track of the device sizes and will emit a
warning message should the problem be detected. Creating a direct
duplicate of the logical drive is possible but not recommended. If you
go for this option, make sure the target has the same filesystem as the
source. Also, if the source is smaller than a target, certain weirdness
may be evident if you cross check Disk Management volume size/free space
readings with these of Windows Explorer.
This Disk Management screenshot is taken after copying
the logical drive K: onto the logical drive F:.
Typically, one does not mix physical and logical disks in one
operation. That is, you either stick to the physical or to the logical
devices, not both. However, Zlon will provide no
warning if source and target are of different type. |
