Settings for drive imaging
Ignore bad sectors
You can specify under Drive imaging/Imaging options/Advanced whether the read process should be aborted or continued
in case of error. If continued, the bad sector will be saved in the image as an unused sector. The remaining data
that is still readable will then be available in the image.
• Enable the check for Ignore and automatically skip bad sectors while reading.
Data comparison with checksums
Unchanged data resulting from incremental images is saved using checksums by default. Such a file will be slightly
larger. That's why it's enough, when creating the next incremental image, to use an existing incremental image (with
checksums) as the base image. This function is activated by default. If you save all images in a single folder, you can
deactivate this function. Your images will then take up less space on disk.
• Please make sure that the function Use checksums to administer unchanged data under Drive imaging/Imaging
options/Advanced is enabled.
Use profiles for drive imaging
Under Drive imaging/Imaging options/Current profile you can reset current settings to Default, or select an already
existing profile.
Under Current profile you can select a preset Multimedia or Archive profile. The Multimedia profile automatically
excludes already compressed music and video data (i.e. *.avi, *.mp3, *.mpeg) from the compression. The Archive Profile
excludes other compressed data such as *.zip or *.rar.
If you would like to save your user-defined settings, please follow these instructions:
1. Enable your settings under Drive imaging/Imaging options.
2. Select under Save as....
3. Give your newly created profile a name in the dialog window and confirm.
4. Under Manage profiles you can change or delete an existing profile.
