2. Incremental Backup

Incremental backup will distinguish differences between the memory card and folders of the hard drive. It will also copy the files and folders newly added to the memory card to the hard drive folder, thus reducing data quantity of each backup and avoid repeated data.

With the function, you can:

• copy data on the memory card to the last successful backup folder (full backup or incremental backup)
• select an existing folder, and copy the non-repeated data of the memory card to the folder.

The function DOES NOT enable you to :

• back up memory card label and data of system files (such as Recycle Bin of Windows)
• memory cards adopting FAT12 file system.
• back up files of the same name but different data.
• synchronize different data of the memory card and the hard drive folder, namely the data existing in the designated hard drive folder but not on the memory card will not be rewritten into the memory card.

Real-Time Verify:

The real-time verification performs CRC verification of data in the course of file copying. Upon discovery of error, it will be retracted. I/O error will be reported after the retry fails. The real-time verification is supported by hardware, so it will not influence the copying speed.

The real-time verification is applicable to equipment as follows: SATA hard drive, CF memory card of UDMA, SD card, MMC card and MS card.

Verify HDD:

After the function of verifying hard drive is selected, for each file copied, CRC checksum of the file will be recorded (multiple CRC checksums will be recorded for large files). Whenever all files in a folder are copied, the system will reread the hard drive, recalculate the CRC checksum of each file and compare it with the checksum during copying to ascertain the copying operation is fully correct.

When the function is started, it will:

• prevent data from error and loss due to bad sectors of hard drive.
• influence copying speed, extent of which depends on the reading speed of the hard drive.

Verify Card:

After the verifying memory card function is selected, for each file copied, CRC checksum of the file will be recorded (multiple CRC checksums will be recorded for large files). Whenever all files in a folder are copied, the system will reread the memory card, recalculate the CRC checksum of each file and compare it with the checksum during copying to ascertain the copying operation is fully correct.

When the function is started, it will:

• detect the data errors on the memory card.
• influence copying speed, extent of which depends on the reading speed of the memory card.

Changing Speed mode:

Underon the main menu,select[

Hyper speed:

Hyper speed uses slow operating speed of the hard drive, and renews copying progress whenever a file is copied.

When the function is started, it:

will reach an average copying speed of about 16Mbytes/s.
- may not reach an average copying speed of about 16Mbytes/s when a large quantity of small-sized files are copied.

UDMA66 speed:

UDMA66 speed uses quick operating speed of the hard drive and, in order to speed up, renews copying progress at an interval of 1 second.

When the function is started, it:

will reach an average copying speed of 30~40Mbytes/s.
- cannot reach the maximum average speed when backing up CF memory card of non-UDMA specification.
- cannot reach the maximum average speed when function of verifying hard drive, verifying memory card or preview of copy is started.
- cannot reach the maximum average speed when battery electricity is small or ambient temperature is low. It may lead to failure of copying in serious situation. In this case, charge the battery or retry it by changing into "Hyper Speed".
