Drive Copy Wizard


You may copy any object in the Drives panel to any other object, if there is enough space on the target one.

Before Copy object to... becomes enabled on the Create menu, you need to enable writing.

To enable writing,

1 On the R‑Studio for Linux main panel, select the Tools menu, then Settings , and select Enable Write on the Settings dialog box.
> The Copy object to... will be enabled on the Create menu.

Now objects can be copied.

 

While the objects are being copied, you may change some parameters and view the I/O monitor on the Object Copy Progress dialog box.

 

Depending on the objects to copy and your tasks, you may do:

Binary (byte to byte copy)
