Chapter 3 Data Storage and Retrieval

■ Backing up a memory card

A memory card can be backed up using following procedure.

For backing up, a formatted (p. 51) memory card for copying to (the destination card)

must be prepared in addition to the memory card to be copied from (the source

card).

Backing up a memory card

1. Open the SYSTEM menu.

Hold [SHIFT] and press [PROJECT] (same as pressing [SYSTEM]).

2. Open the UTILITY page on the memory card.

Press CURSOR [DOWN] and [F6] (MEMORY CARD), in that order.

3. Press [F1] (BACKUP).

After a message requesting the source card appears, make sure that the source card

has been inserted, and then press [F5] (OK). The back-up procedure will begin.

4. After a message requesting the destination card appears, remove the source

card, insert the destination card and press [F5] (OK). Data writing starts.

After writing is completed, return to Step 3 and repeat the above

procedure. Backing up is finished when the “Completed” message appears.

Prepare a destination card

of at least the same capacity

as the source card. If the

capacity of the destination

card is smaller than that of

the source, backing up may

e halted before all of the

source card’s data can be

copied.

IMPORTANT

The console’s auto-mixing memory is used during the memory-card backing-up

process. Therefore, all auto-mixing information which is currently held in the

console’s memory is erased during the back-up process. For this reason, be sure to

save the current project before you begin the back-up procedure.

Format (p. 51)

The number of repetitions

of Steps 3 and 4 will differ

depending on the amount

of data to be backed up.

To cancel the process, press

[F6] (CANCEL). Once

acking up has begun, data

previously stored on the

destination card cannot be

restored even if the back-

up process is cancelled.
