The source server is a domain controller of the "DomainA.Com"domain and the recovery OS running on the target is configured for workgroup mode. The target system has an additional disk drive D: , that will receive a bootable copy of the source systems C: drive.

The copy is created over a low bandwidth and high latency WAN connection using CopyRight2's unique block transfer mode.
