Title: Does it transfer intelligently?
Post by: kieranmullen on March 15, 2011, 08:16:49 PM
Meaning, if it makes multiple copies as shown in the demo video, does it make a copy from the local source rather than reading the card reader twice?  It was not mentioned in the video, but this would indeed save a lot of time. I understand that a one device could be full (which one could write an exception for) and the copy could be bad (rare but a checksum should be created from the card files and compared to the final output?)

Also what if you want 1 copy of a jpg developed and one tiff developed?

Yes, it copies from card to first location, and then copies from that to second location. That is much faster than going from card to Hard Drive twice.
You will see it running slowly up to 50%, and whiz to 100% if you have two locations.
Good question!

What protection does it have about the first copy bring corrupt or the first transfer device being full?

22 of 24 copied to hard drive then 22 transferred over network and the remaining 2 transferred from the card?

Mike will have to answer how it is protected. I know he said a number of times, that it has safeguards.
