Generic Source File

The recovery source will be a file, when choosing the source a file dialog will open. Note that the selected file's size must be a multiple of the sector size set in the Clone Settings.

Generic Source Device

The recovery source will be a block device, when choosing the source a list of all available block devices will open. This mode should be used when neither Direct Modes nor Passthrough Modes are available for the recovery source.

Passthrough Auto-Detect

Automatically chooses ATA passthrough if capable, otherwise uses SCSI passthough.

Passthrough SCSI

Use SCSI passthough mode. This mode will work with USB attached drives.

Passthrough ATA

Use ATA passthrough mode. This can have the benefit of bypassing some of the kernel driver retries that may be performed in SCSI mode. While this may list USB attached drives, they cannot be cloned in this mode.

Use Direct IDE mode. The drive must be hidden from the OS to use this mode. The drive must be either a PATA connected drive, or the SATA controller must be configured for IDE emulation mode.

Use Direct AHCI mode. The drive must be hidden from the OS to use this mode. The drive must be SATA attached.

Use Direct USB mode. This has the benefit of bypassing the OS drivers for USB attached mass storage devices, and gives the ability to reset USB devices per timeout settings. Use this mode for devices such as flash drives.

Use Direct USB ATA mode. This is the same as the regular Direct USB mode, except it performs some commands that are meant for conventional ATA drives. This mode should not be used for flash drives, as it can lock up the device, causing an error when trying to connect.

Fill Zero

In this mode all non-finished areas of the destination will be zero-filled. This mode will ignore any domain file.

Fill Mark

In this mode all non-finished areas of the destination will be filled with a marking pattern. This mode will ignore any domain file.

Erase Destination

In this mode the entire destination will be zero-filled.

Virtual Disk Only

In this mode no data is read from the source, only from the destination. This mode is intended for use with the Virtual Disk Mode after data has already been recovered.
