Backing Up Projects - Akai DPS24 Operator's Manual

PROJECT
Here, you can backup, restore, delete and rename projects.
To rename a project, use the CURSOR UP/DOWN keys to select the project to rename. Pressing RENAME will pop-
up the usual naming prompt and you can rename the selected project in the usual way. Press RENAME [F6] at this
prompt to confirm and commit the rename (or press CANCEL to abort).
To delete a project, use the CURSOR UP/DOWN keys to select the project to delete. Pressing DELETE will pop-up
a prompt asking you to confirm the deletion. Press DELETE [F6] at this prompt to confirm the deletion (or press
CANCEL to abort).

BACKING UP PROJECTS

Pressing BACKUP will show this screen:
You should use the CURSOR UP/DOWN keys to select the project(s) you want to back up and you should press
SELECT PROJECT [F2/3] to 'mark' the files. The project(s) will be marked thus:
Multiple projects may be selected in this way for backup in one pass. E.g.:
Before making the backup, you should set WRITE SPEED to the correct speed (SLOW if your CD-R/CD-RW is an
older model, FAST if it is a later model) using Q5. You can also select whether the drive will perform a TEST
WRITE, a process in which a weak laser is projected onto the disc surface to check whether any malfunctions will
occur during data transfer. If you have not written data to discs at all or, with a CD-RW, have only done so a few
times, you should ideally perform the test write process. However, the selection is optional.
When you have selected the project(s) you want to backup and set the CD writing parameters as appropriate, press
BACKUP [F6]. The backup process will commence and you will see a progress display.
If the total backup size is larger than the capacity of a CD, you will be prompted to insert blank CDs as required.
