Copies data and skips empty space. Only supports standardized formats.
Scroll to select “System and Files”, then press “OK” to save the copy method.
Allows user to copy source device’s System and Files, instead of the entire device. The system will analyze the source device and identify the data area to copy. If the source device’s data is within the target device’s capacity, the copy will be processed. FAT16/32/64, NTFS, EXT2/EXT3/EXT4, and HFS/HFS+/HFSX are supported in this copy mode.

Only 120G data area will be copied.

6.1.2 All Partitions
Copies all partitions and data, unallocated partitions not included.
Scroll to select “All Partitions”, then press “OK” to save the copy method.
The target device’s capacity must be equal to or larger than the source device’s capacity.
