Types of Data Cloning Operations

Converter Standalone supports disk-based cloning, volume-based cloning, and linked-cloning modes.

IMPORTANT Converter Standalone cannot detect any source volumes and file systems that are located on

physical disks larger than 2TB.

Table 1-2. Cloning Modes

Data Copy Types Application Description

Volume based Copy volumes from the source

machine to the destination machine.

Volume-based cloning is relatively

slow. File-level cloning is slower than

block-level cloning. Dynamic disks are

converted into basic volumes on the

target virtual machine.

Disk based Create copies of the source machines,

for all types of basic and dynamic

disks.

You cannot select which data to copy.

Disk-based cloning is faster than

volume-based cloning.

Linked clone Use to quickly check compatibility of

non-VMware images

For certain third-party sources, the

linked clone is corrupted if you power

on the source machine after the

conversion. Linked cloning is the fastest

(but incomplete) cloning mode that

Converter Standalone supports.

Volume-Based Cloning

During volume-based cloning, volumes from the source machine are copied to the destination machine.

Converter Standalone supports volume-based cloning for hot and cold cloning, and during the import of

existing virtual machines.

During volume-based cloning, all volumes in the destination virtual machine are converted to basic volumes,

regardless of their type in the corresponding source volume.

Volume-based cloning is performed at the file level or block level, depending on the destination volume size

that you select.

Volume-based cloning at

the file level

Performed when you select a size smaller than the original volume for NTFS

volumes or you choose to resize a FAT volume.
