NOTES ABOUT BACKUP/RESTORE

When backing up data to disk, there are a few things you should be aware of.
• When ALL PROJECTS, ALL LIBRARIES, ALL PROJS & LIBS, SELECTED FILES and
ENTIRE DISK are selected as the BACKUP TYPE, if any projects and/or libraries use
audio from other disks, this audio will also be backed up. However, when you come to
restore this data, the material from the other disks will be restored to the single
'destination' disk selected in the TO DISK field. For example:
In the above example, SFX, music and dialogue from disk IDs 0, 1 and 2 are backed
up to tape but these will be restored to the disk selected in the RESTORE TO field (in
this example, Disk ID#0)
In other words, you should ensure that the destination disk for the restore is large
enough to accommodate all the material (the DD1500 will inform you if it isn't).
• If the data you are trying to backup to tape is larger than that which the tape can hold
(or if there is already quite a bit of data on the tape), the backup will be done across
two or more tapes. The DD1500 will prompt you if this is the case and will tell you to
insert another tape. If the tape is unformatted and unsuitable for use, you will be
prompted to format the tape whereupon the backup will continue.
