(TRANSFER TO PLAYBACK)
File transfer rate: 8 to 1
File backup/restore rate: 5.33 to 1
Backup/Restore Characteristics
BACKUP BANK saves a specific bank to a DAT tape. BACKUP DRIVE saves the contents of
the entire drive to a DAT tape. RESTORE FROM BACKUP adds files to the drive from the DAT
backup tape, replacing any with the same cut index. RESTORE FROM BACKUP does not
discard files on disk unless a file at the same index is successfully read from the DAT tape.
Backup and restore data is compressed, so a disk with 4 hours of audio can be backed up using
about 65 minutes of DAT tape. A disk with 8 hours of audio can be backed up with about 115
minutes of tape.
Backup and restore support the AES/EBU interface only.
CAUTION!
PLAYBACK OF BACKUP DATA SOUNDS LIKE LOUD NOISE AND BEARS NO
RESEMBLANCE TO THE UNCOMPRESSED MATERIAL.
FILE TRANSFER MENUS
FILE TRANSFER is a sub-menu selected from the main Menu. It has menu items for file transfer
configuration, for selecting transfer of a single cut or all cuts, and for performing backup and
restore.
The FILE TRANSFER menu contains a number of its own sub-menus. At the outer most level,
the SCROLL ARROW keys select a specific menu item. When editing input fields, the alpha-
numeric legends on the Hot-Keys are used to enter data, and the left and right arrows move the
cursor. The ENTER key initiates an activity, or completes an edit operation.
Transfer Cut
Transfer a single selected cut to a mail box or to a specific drive, directory and index.
Transfer All Cuts
Transfer the entire contents of an audio disk drive to the mail box, or to a designated drive
and directory in a destination machine.
Backup Drive
BACKUP DRIVE backs up the entire contents of the internal hard disk through the
AES/EBU (XLR-3) output connector to a DAT tape.
Backup Bank
BACKUP BANK backs up the presets of the current bank and the cuts assigned to those
presets. Its operation is identical to BACKUP DRIVE.
