About HEIDENHAIN Clone
With HEIDENHAIN Clone you can create a copy of the data medium of yourHEIDENHAIN control. Data media are:
HDR (Hard Disk Removable)
CFR (Compact Flash Removable)
SSDR (Solid State Disk Removable)
These data media are used in the following HEIDENHAIN controls:
MC 3xxMC 420MC 422B
MC 422MC 422D
MC 6xxx
MC 7xxx
MC 8xxxHEIDENHAIN Clone is very easy to use. After setting the boot options in
the BIOS, you can boot directly from the USB hard disk. You are then guided
step by step through a dialog-based menu.
As of MC 422C and all newer controls it is possible to boot directlyfrom the supplied USB hard disk on the control. For the MC 420
and MC 422B you require a notebook and the USB-HDR adapter
ID 529306-01.
By backing up all your data, you can significantly reduce machine downtime in theevent of a failure of the data medium. Furthermore, you always have an up-to-date
data backup available directly at the machine.
HEIDENHAIN Clone not only backs up the system files for starting a control, butalso all user and manufacturer data!
HEIDENHAIN Clone is a product of the HEIDENHAIN Service in Traunreut/
Germany and is based on the open source Clonezilla project.

NOTICE

5.1

In Microsoft Windows
You can store several backups on the hard disk of the HEIDENHAIN Clone.
For managing your backups you can connect HEIDENHAIN Clone in Microsoft
Windows. After connecting the hard disk, two additional drives appear in the filesystem.

Do not make any changes in the "JH-CLONE" drive!
The HEIDENHAIN Clone operating software is located there.
You can find your backups in the "JH_Backup" subdirectory on the "Backups" drive.

For each backup a directory with a freely selectable name is created. There you
can delete or copy your backups, or move them to another file server, etc.
