Reloading Data From An External Scsi Device - Roland VS-2480 Service Notes

Jun. 2001
- Verify
If set to 'On', the system checks if the data written can be
read out normally or not.
- CD Speed
Selects the speed at which the data is written onto the CD-R
disk.
This parameter appears only when a CD-R/RW drive has
been specified for the destination.
5. Select the destination for backing up.
Press the [F4] (SelDrv) button, and the Drive Select screen
appears.
Turn the TIME/VALUE dial to position the cursor on the
external SCSI device onto which the data is to be backed up,
then press the [F5] (SELECT) button.
Caution : If a CD-RW disk containing existing data is selected
as the destination, "Finalized CD!" or "Not Blank CD!"
is displayed.
If you press the [ENTER/YES] button, all the existing
contents on the CD-RW are erased.
If you press the [EXIT/NO] button, no contents are
erased.
In this case, you cannot backup the data to the CD-
RW disk specified.
6. Press the [F5] (OK) button.
If the "STORE Current?" ("Do you store current project?)
dialog box appeare, press the [EXIT/NO] button.
7. If the project had so large a volume for the disk to take, the
disk is ejected and a "Please Insert Disk" message is
displayed.
Insert another disk and press the [ENTER/YES] button.
At this point, the system checks the available space on the
data storing media.
So we recommend that you number the disks to identify their
order easily.
8. After backing up is completed, the disk is ejected and the
display returns to the Project Condition screen.
You can use backing up to store the contents of your HDD
on Zip, MO or CD-R/RW disks.
If you use your HDD for the Test mode, be sure to save its
contents on other media be forehand.
Note : You can only backup on a partition-by-partition basis.
If the HDD had more than one partition, backup each of
them on different media.
