    Okay, Davinci 11 is up and running and I am trying to clone a BMCC hard drive. I set it up as per the manual and hit ‘clone’. I see a 0% progress and it immediately changes to a red “error” message. No explanation, no hint… just “Error”. wow. makes it kinda hard to troubleshoot. any idea where I can find details on what the error is? the manual is pretty much assumes it works with out fail every time as it has no instructions for an ‘error’ message.

    I have tried cloning to one disk to several, to different ones, doesn’t work.

    Thoughts?

    Are you on Mac or Windows or Linux? What is the filesystem on your source and target drive?

    Windows 7 SP 1.

    I have tried several combinations of formats…

    1. coming from a disk directly out of a BMCC (exFat) attatched throu a SIIG USB 3 dock to a USB 3 attached exFat. Fails after a few minutes.

    2. BMCC(exfat) to combination of internal array NTFS and External USB 3 drives exFat. Fails immediately.

    3. Directory on the internal array (NTFS) to another directory on same drive (NTFS) failes after a few minutes.

    All files for #1 and #2 are generated by the BMCC in DNxHD 175.

    For #3 I tried BMCC DNxDH and also files from a sony nex-fs100 (avchd)

    The really anoying thing is that there is apparently no way to tell WHY the transfer failed which makes troubleshooting unnecessarily complicated.

    Also, realistically, when I get this computer into the field, it will need to do verified copies between exFat, NTFS, and LTFS (LTO 6 Drive) on a routine basis. When I have clients that use macs I will also need to transfer to their drives over thunderbolt. So it seems a far cry away from being able to do that at the moment.

    Also, when it was transfering it seemed REALLY slow. I know it’s varifying, but still…. even the internal disk array to itself should have been faster.

    Thanks
