Clone Sources

This preferences tab allows you to select a master-copy disk to use for cloning to other disks after they have been erased.

Selecting a Disk for cloning

Any disk recognized by Disk Clone may be used as a master-copy for Cloning. Simply find the disk under the Available Disks column and check the box next to the desired Disk Bay. This disk will be locked and read/write operations will be restricted for it until the cloning operation is complete.

Selecting a Disk Image for cloning

Additionally to cloning a disk, cloning can be done from a mounted disk image. In the Disk Clone preferences tab:

  1. At the bottom of the dialog, click Mount Disk Image
    Figure 1: Mount Disk Image dialog
  2. To the right of the "Disk Image file name" field click the ... button
  3. Find the desired disk image in the file explorer and click Open
  4. Fill in the "Display name" text box with a desired name for the image and click OK
  5. The mounted disk image should appear under Disk Images in the Master-copy sources window.
Note: To avoid repeating steps 1-4 every time the application is launched check the "Autoload mounted Disk Images at every application start" box. This will complete the mounting process automatically in the future.
