Mobile Clone - Main Menu - Resize

Resize mode is used to copy between Source and Target drives of different capacities. Resize copy supports the following file systems: FAT, FAT32, NTFS.

Note: If the Source is not formatted as a supported file system, then the duplicator will automatically switch to Full mode.

The Kanguru Mobile Clone support copying from a smaller Source drive to larger Target drives. Duplicators running firmware version 2.56 or later have the ability to copy from a larger Source to a smaller Target. This is extremely useful when cloning an operating system from a larger capacity HDD to a smaller capacity SSD. In order to clone from a larger Source to a smaller Target, the following two conditions are met:

• The Master drive must be a Windows OS drive, formatted NTFS or FAT32. Large to small resizing is not supported for Mac or Linux operating systems.
• The total data content on the Master must be smaller than the total capacity on the Target (e.g. if the Master drive is a 500GB HDD with 100GB of used space, then the Target drive capacity must be greater than 100GB.

Other things to be aware of:

• Encrypted partitions are not supported by Resize.
• Hidden/boot partitions are supported, as are multi-partitions as long as they are formatted NTFS or FAT32.
• In a multi-partition situation, hidden/boot partitions are not resized. NTFS and FAT32 partitions are resized proportionally.

Note: When using Resize Copy to duplicate a drive with multiple partitions, each partition will be expanded equally in proportion to the remaining unallocated space.
