Hi,

Yes, we suggest Direct Mirror instead of Smart Mirror. Smart Mirror needs to save extra block layout information, if this information is corrupted accidently, the whole Mirror file may become incorrect. Although we have recovery mechanism for Smart Mirror, but for better data safety, we only use Direct Mirror when Mirror file is frequently updated.

thanks for replay.

I'm using 1GB ramdisk saving every 60 min. Usually it's okay.

I often need 3GB over working area on ramdisk (for movie files).
but I dislike to write 4GB file to disk every hour...

anyway I use direct mirror. thanks alot.

Hi,

for timing save, "Quick Save" mode is enabled by force. So generally it only updates the "dirty" blocks instead of rewriting the whole mirror file.

hi there,

it means, for example, There is 4GB ramdisk and 100MB files in the ramdisk.
and saving every hour.

now I write 100MB files to ramdisk.
Ramdisk write only 100MB data to image file?

in short it needs 4GB disk size but writting size is not 4GB all?
