USB Duplicator - Operations - Synchronous Copy

The Kanguru USB Duplicator’s synchronous process allows you to copy data from a Source USB to all Target USB devices connected to the duplicator at the same time.  This is the default duplication mode and performance is based on the slowest drive connected.  

To execute a Synchronous Copy:

1. Power on the duplicator.

2. Navigate to the copy mode you want to perform or press either the F1 or F2 shortcut buttons to initiate the copy process.

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

3. Insert the Source drive (i.e. the drive to be copied) into the Source port. The Source port is located on the top left and is marked with a “Source” label.

4. Connect your Target drive(s) into any available ports. The LCD display will show you the number of Target drives connected and a 30-second countdown timer. The countdown timer will reset every time another USB device is connected.

5. Once all of your connected Target devices have been recognized by the system, press the ENT button to start the duplication process.

Note: Duplication will begin automatically when the duplicator recognizes that all available USB ports are occupied.

WARNING! Do not remove any drives while they are in use. You can tell if a drive is in use if the green LED next to it is blinking. Wait for a solid green or red LED before removing a drive.

6. During the duplication process you can view the following information displayed on the LCD screen:

7. Once the duplication job has completed the screen will display the following:

Drives that completed successfully will have a green LED displayed next to it, indicating that there were no errors on that drive. Drives that failed the duplication process will have a red LED next to it.

8. Remove all the target drives and you will return to the main menu. If you have more USB devices to copy, repeat steps 4 - 8 until your project is complete.

9. Press the ESC button to return to the main menu.
